Passions take wing in Tennessee Williams' famed tale of hypocrisy and alienation > > > > > Handsome Chance Wayne never found the Hollywood stardom he craved, but he's always been a star with the ladies. Now, back in his sleepy, sweaty Gulf coast hometown, he's involved with two of them: a washed-up, drug-and-vodka-addled movie queen, and the girl he left behind... and in trouble. Paul Newman, Best Actress Oscar nominee Geraldine Page, Rip Torn and Madeleine Sherwood recreate their stage roles and Ed Begley gives and Oscar-winning portrayal as the town's corrupt political boss in a bravura film version of Tennessee Williams' Broadway hit. Sex. Money. Hypocrisy. Financial and emotional blackmail. Familiar elements of Williams' literary realm combine powerfully as Chance battles his private demons in a desperate bid to redeem his wasted life and recapture his lost sweet bird of youth...

Mr. Williams is a master at exposing the cancer at the heart of America, and his use of the word "mendacity" says it all.
The film is dominated by the star performance from Geraldine Page, but anyone who thought Paul Newman was just a good face will be amazed at the nuanced performance he gives here. He was a marvellous cinema actor, and a great Williams leading man
