Val Xavier, a drifter of obscure origins arrives at a small town and gets a job in a store run by Lady Torrence, a sex-starved woman whose husband Jabe M. Torrance is dying of cancer upstairs. Val is pursued by Carol Cutere, the enigmatic local tramp-of-good-family, who covets his snakeskin jacket as much as his body and tries to seduce him in the cemetery. Val is more attracted to the mature Lady and gets her pregnant.

Release date: 14 April 1960

"January 15th Directed by: Sidney Lumet This film is an adaptation of Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending. Thinking about it under that title makes it a little bit more interesting to me. I would describe this film as interesting though, certainly moreso at the beginning. There's a lot of potential here, but it just kind of descends into meandering, and not interesting meandering. I don't know if that's the fault of the playwright or Sidney Lumet."
