The Long, Hot Summer
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

Even Orson Welles as a ceegar-chomping southern paterfamilias can't bail out Martin Ritt's plodding direction of this 1958 feature, an uneasy blend of three Faulkner short stories. More summer than smoke. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward costar. 117 min.
