Friday '58: The Long, Hot Summer

From 1958, a film starring one of my favourite mid-century (but also...of all time) couples!


The Long, Hot Summer

"Accused barn burner and conman Ben Quick (Paul Newman) arrives in a small Mississippi town and quickly ingratiates himself with its richest family, the Varners."

Starring: Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman

Thoughts: Paul and Joanne...such a perfect pairing, such a perfect partnership. When I watch them act opposite each other, it feels like I'm watching the most natural thing in the world. This was their first collaboration; it's definitely worth the watch!
