This Property Is Condemned ★★ 1966

It's a hot time down south once again in this adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play. Wood is the overly flirtatious southern charmer who takes a shine to the latest tenant of her loathsome mama's boardinghouse. And since it's Redford, who can blame her. Things steam up when he re turns her interest but there's trouble a ‘brewin'. Both leads are lovely but the film itself is overly southern-fried. Williams was reportedly unhappy with the script and wanted his name removed from the film. 109m/C VHS, DVD . Robert Redford, Natalie Wood, Charles Bronson, Kate Reid, Mary Badham, Jon(athan) Provost, Robert (Bobby) Blake, John Harding; D: Sydney Pollack; W: Francis Ford Coppola, Edith Sommer, Fred Coe.
