Full Plot Details

U.S. Army Major Weldon Penderton (Marlon Brando) is stationed on a base in the American south. He and his wife Leonora Penderton (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) are in an unsatisfying marriage. Weldon is generally a solitary man who in his time alone tries to bolster his self image as he feels less than adequate as a man and a Major. He does not want to viewed like Captain Murray Weincheck (Irvin Dugan), who has been bypassed for promotion time and time again solely because he is seen as being too sensitive. Self absorbed Leonora, when not focused on her passion of horses and riding, tries to maintain the façade of being what she sees an officer's wife should be while she carries on an affair with their next door neighbor, married Lieutenant Colonel Morris Langdon (Brian Keith). Morris' wife, Alison Langdon (Julie Harris), suffered a nervous breakdown three years ago after miscarrying her child, she is still with that nervous constitution. Alison is generally drawn toward sensitive types, such as Captain Weincheck and their faithful flamboyant Filipino houseboy, Anacleto (Zorro David). Peripheral to the Pendertons' lives is brooding Private L.G. Williams (Robert Forster), who Leonora knows as the enlisted man who works at the stables, and who Weldon asks to do some work around their house. While Weldon secretly becomes fixated on Williams, Williams in turn becomes secretly fixated on Leonora. The question becomes what emotions, many of those emotions being latent, will dictate what actions each of these people will make.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertReflections is a better film than we had any right to expect. It follows the McCullers story faithfully and without compromise. The performances are superb.
The Spectator - 10/10 by Penelope HoustonHuston and his writers take it old-fashioned and straight, driving through a story line, allowing all the characters their own precarious consistency.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lawrence O'TooleJohn Huston’s adaptation of Carson McCullers’ gothic novella of sexual repression, set in a Southern Army post, gave Taylor one of her most unusual roles. It’s a restrained, sensual performance with moments of high, if warped, comedy: an example of what a director with an original vision could elicit from her.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Mark GriffinAll in all, a superbly controlled exercise in the malevolent torments of despair.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumEither you like this movie a lot or you run screaming for the exit; I find it rough going.
The New Yorker - 7/10 by Pauline KaelThe shame of it is that this conclusion is so anticlimactic and banal, because there is so much in the picture that seems to be leading to -- certainly prepares us to expect -- much more.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Donald J. LevitUnintentional silliness, intentional simpering, awkward movement and mega-name miscasting abound in this 1967 John Huston film.
Cleveland Press - 6/10 by Tony MastroianniCarson McCuller's 1941 novel, Reflections in a Golden Eye was a lean and intense work about domestic tragedy and sexual perversion. John Huston's film version of it is fat instead of lean, plodding rather than intense.
Examiner.com - 3/10 by Adam LippeDirector John Huston is very careful not to share any beauty with us, there's one stunning shot of swirling dust, accentuated by the golden hue, but it's far off in the distance. If the characters can't have pleasure, neither should we.
User Review - 10/10 by Peter WI don't quite understand critics who don't get this movie. I read the negative reviews below and assume these critics loved the execrable "Forrest Gump" think Sally Fields and Tom Hanks represent the acme of their craft, and would run away from a small-hours East Village drag review. 'Pretentious melodrama' is the starting point for Southern Gothic: I thought Variety would know better. Brando and Taylor are in top-form, and Harris and Keith are pros doing what they do best (and to think that this was contemporaneous with 'Uncle Bill'). All things considered an extremely entertaining night at the movies.
