Both he and Judith Ivey make Faulkner's characters uncomfortably too real. Ava Gardner, as Minnie Littlejohn, brings class to a character meant to be just another cheap, contemptible woman. Even Jason Robards, Cybill Shepard, and William Russ rise to the other actors' standards in this underrated rendition of a Southern classic. <hr width=15% align=left><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
