Having fled New Orleans to avoid arrest, the undeniably alluring Valentine "Snakeskin" Xavier (Val), a trouble-prone, guitar-playing drifter, wanders into a small Mississippi town aiming to go straight and lead a quiet, simple life. He gets a job in the dry goods store owned by a sexually-frustrated middle-aged woman named Lady Torrence, whose sadistic elderly husband, Jabe, is dying. With an obscure past and passions of her own, Lady finds herself attracted to Val, pulsating with passion anew, as he presents an arousing antidote to her bitter marriage and small-town hum-drum life. Also vying for Val's attention are the alcoholic, sex-crazed Carol Cutrere and the unhappily-married Vee Talbot. Each brings her share of problems into Val's plans, himself equally tempted by these women, though he succumbs to the charms of Lady. But the jealous Jabe is friends with Sheriff Talbot, who's also Vee's wife - things can't possibly end well for Val and Lady. The screenplay by Meade Roberts and Tennessee Williams is based on Williams' own 1957 play "Orpheus Descending".
Leave your thoughts about The Fugitive Kind.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA stagy and ponderous film that lacks soul. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickSeeing Marlon Brando still at the young, Method-fueled heights of his career makes the film imminently watchable |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerHighly theatrical and dripping with gothic atmosphere, it's hardly realistic and the love story never convinces, but it is mesmerizing... |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisAn almost unbelievably sluggish and uninflected adaptation of Tennessee Williams' searing Orpheus Descending. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe superb acting by Marlon Brando, Anna Magnani, and Joanne Woodward and some lyrical passages of Tennessee William's play compensate for the stagnant production--a must for Brando fans. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongUnfortunately the movie doesnt offer much else to supplement Brandos masterstrokes. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...though Brando delivers a performance that's just as engaging and mesmerizing as one might expect, the movie is a dull, relentlessly talky exercise in pointlessness. |
| User ReviewDouglas Lhaunting, atmospheric. amazing acting. Tennessee Williams play. |
| User ReviewJaime GIncreíble que esta extraordinaria película haya sido casi olvidada y pasado inadvertida por la comunidad queer. Aunque no lo hace enteramente explícito, Marlon Brando hace un trabajo exquisite y sensacional. |
| User ReviewStefanie CMy first exposure to Tennessee Williams, wow. Sultry and steamy and violent and human. |
