Long Hot Summer In A Snowstorm

Every few years I am reminded....






Paul Newman is a God.






So, I've always loved loved loved "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof". One of my All Time Favorite Movies.



Somehow though... I have missed "The Long, Hot Summer".





Why I couldn't find a preview for this movie I have NO IDEA because in my mind it rivals Cat on A Hot Tin Roof. Orson Welles and Paul Newman, even Lee Remick is great in this movie. Joanne Woodward is Ok, maybe she's better I don't know!! I was distracted!! The chemistry is sooo palpable between these two lovers (in real life too).



I love to watch color movies of this era because the Cinema Scope and De Luxe Color makes them like a beautiful work of art. Jewel tone colors on a wide angle screen is amazing.


RUN don't walk and go to the video store or Netflix or something and rent this move. DH even watched it with me.


If you don't like the "modern southern family" Faulkner and Tennessee Williams dramas then... just watch some dumb reality show again. Your loss.

My favorite Paul Newman role is Cool Hand Luke.

Me, too - I love love love CHL. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen COAHTR. Mea culpa. May be that's the catalyst to open a netfli* account.

I loved Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I wish they still made movies like that.
