- A MOST SEE LOVE STORY OF THE FIFTIES!!!!
Before the Labor Day a hansome stranger swings into a small town of Kansas...and he awakes passions that nobody could imagine that were there.
William Holden plays Hal Carter, an irresponsible guy,who falls for the girl of his best friend, Kim Novak as Madge Owens. Unwillingly he also awakes passions not only to her, but also to her little sister, and to a school teacher at her 40's played excellent by Rosalind Russell.
The love scene between Holden and Novak are sensational, and the dance sequence is one of poetry.
This film is based on the classic play of William Inge and is wonderfully directed by the theatre director Joshua Logan. Although sometimes you may find William Holden a little older than he should have been for this particular part, he is excellent portrait of the main character is one of the best that has ever been performed, and can easily be considered as classic, like his performance in movies like 'Sunset Boulevard', 'Born Yesterday', 'Sabrina' and 'Love is a many splendored thing'.
A MUST SEE!!!!
