Based on a Tennessee Williams play, Summer And Smoke is a story of repressed desires in a southern town during one hot summer.Laurence Harvey plays the doctor's son, known for his wild ways. Geraldine Page plays the priest's daughter who lives next door and, although still young, is quickly becoming known as the town spinster. Can she tame him or does he corrupt her?
It's all very typically Tennessee Williams. And after watching this, I realize that I'm not really a terribly big fan of his work. These plays are probably much better on stage; but when they are produced as Hollywood movies, they come across just a little too melodramatic for me. View the trailer to see if it's within your tastes.
