    The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

    This is a film I never, ever forgot.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063050/

    It's heavy duty, not a date movie or getting over someone movie. Best seen with a film pal or spouse/friend/sig other.It affects you like a punch in the solar plexis.

    I love it and think it's one of the best ever made. But, what do I know?

    nothing, it seems.
    "everything a writer learns about the art and craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. in the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say."

      You know what you like Andlary, and that's enough for me.

        It's a good film for it's time and an incredible novel, as all of Carson McCullers' work. (Can't you tell I'm a big fan of Southern gothic?)

          Well, it is for an American audience, I'm afraid.

              With its ending, I doubt this movie would ever be greenlighted in this era. Some studio exec would be turned off by the physical disabilities, the emotional upheaval, etc.

              That's why I think a renaissance in movie storytelling is in order.

                  I think a storyteller like Clint Eastwood could get away with this kind of movie today maybe. Certainly, no matinee idols in this one.
