CRITICS OF "The Long Hot Summer"

Film4

Newman, perfectly cast as the intruder, dominates the movie.

July 04, 2003

Resource

Variety

This picture is strikingly directed by Martin Ritt.

January 07, 2008

Resource

TV Guide

Director Martin Ritt and writers Harriet Frank, Jr. and Irving Ravetch opted for a less-than-faithful adaptation of the author's work, and the results were excellent.

January 07, 2008

Resource

EmanuelLevy.Com

This small-town family melodrama, a quintessential 1950s film in its themes and tensions, is well acted by Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Lee Remick.

June 02, 2011

Resource

Cinema em Cena

O belo roteiro, escrito a partir de histórias de William Faulkner, ganha ainda mais dimensão graças às performances de Newman, Woodward e Welles - além, é claro, da direção segura de Martin Ritt e da ótima fotografia.

September 08, 2003

Apollo Guide

The conclusion is surprising and quite exciting, as this self-contained little southern world unravels.

March 01, 2004

Resource

Chicago Reader

[An] uneasy blend of three Faulkner short stories.

July 04, 2003

Resource

TIME Magazine

Newman's performance as Ben Quick, before the script blunts it, is as mean and keen as a cackle-edge scythe.

October 01, 2008

Resource

Time Out

The ending is an unconvincing cop out, but it can't spoil the film's compulsive dramatic tension (or a marvellous comic cameo from Angela Lansbury as Welles' long-suffering mistress).

June 24, 2006

New York Times

The Long, Hot Summer starts superbly and ends in a senseless, flabby heap.
