This Property is
Condemned (1966)
Directed by Sydney
Pollack this film based on the play of the same name stars Natalie
Wood, Robert Redford, Charles Bronson, Kate Reid and Mary Badham.
During the depression the railroad sends a man to lay off workers in
a small town here he falls in love with the daughter of a boarding
house owner.
The plot of this film
is classic Tennessee Williams set in the South with a young person
trying to escape an over bearing mother. Generally this is a really
interesting story but it does stretch a little too long and towards
the end the pieces moving towards a contrived ending are a little
obvious. There are good performances from the cast but Natalie Wood
stands out in particular.
4/5
