In this screen adaptation of the Carson McCullers novella, Vanessa Redgrave plays Miss Amelia, a destitute shopkeeper in rural Georgia, whose hunchbacked cousin and ex-husband both suddenly appear in her life. This cacophonous picture is steeped in Southern music and culture, but mostly comes off as a goofy mess.

Grade: D+.
