Nor Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven) nor Sidney Pollack (Jeremiah Johnson) either. Wonderful casting and cinematography, wrong score and it runs too long. Blanchett is every bit as good as John Wayne. Leads and supports are the real deal. Little else is, except for the landscape. Fabulous visuals by Totino. Good try by little Ronnie Howard, just not a classic.

So much could be written here, but will leave it with -- Two of the most wonderful moments in the history of movies -- Liz and that white bathing suit, the Ultra Vixen of her time, and Kate delivers her last lines of true Tennessee Williams madness while ascending into the darkness. Arousing. Indelible. Chilling. Who could ask for more?
