Director:

Martin Ritt

Irving Ravetch (screenplay), Harriet Frank Jr. (screenplay)

In this filmed adaptation of William Faulkner's seminal work, Yul Brynner stars as Jason Compson, the oldest son of a once-proud Southern family rife with inner turmoil. His promiscuous sister, Caddy (Margaret Leighton), has suddenly rolled back into town with an illegitimate daughter called Quentin (Joanne Woodward) in tow. Finding no love in her own clan, Quentin opts for a relationship with Charlie Bush, an irresponsible circus worker played by Stuart Whitman. Meanwhile, Ben (Jack Warden), a mentally-handicapped uncle, is a never-ending source of embarrassment for all concerned. Directed by Martin Ritt, this was the first film to be made from The Sound and the Fury.

Worth The Wait

I never thought I'd find this movie. Thank you Zeus DVD. I'm a huge Yul Brynner fan. I've always thought he was the most romanticly attractive actor....yet I never saw him kiss an actress, on screen....this movie did not disappoint.
It was also a great look into a foolish, entitled and utterly useless group of characters, unable to take care of themselves, trying to coast on the laurels of the past.
Worth watching

I'd been looking for this DVD. Zeus came through, and I've really enjoyed the movie. If you are a fan of Yul Brynner, it was worth watching.
