Dotbankey A lot of fun.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

opieandy-1 Excellent performances by Wood and Redford (as well as the others), great feel of the poor southern town, compelling human emotions. Cinematography was outstanding. Some of the camera work seemed to preview Butch Cassidy, one of my all-time classics. Wood's free-spirited and naive nature was compelling, and Redford, understated as always, was a fantastic counterpoint for her. Mary Badham, following on her role as Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, brought her role to life and was very sympathetic as well. It is interesting that at 13, this was her penultimate role for almost 40 years. I wonder what happened? I generally rate movies on how they make me feel, and this one connected me to the characters, the time and place, and made me feel empathy and admiration, respect, and/or concern for them. Well done, Sydney Pollack.My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre"6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings10 - A Classic (6 of 430 movies have received this)

rightwingisevil still quite watchable by great acting of n.w. and r.r. r.r. played the reluctant bad news messenger who came to town to lay off many railroad workers and killed the whole town. n.w. played the whoring beauty who was viciously pimped by her mother. the young female actor who played the younger sister of alva, well, the impression i got from this movie was her ugly nose and day-and-night differences between she and her elder sister. to me, if n.w. was not drowned so young and so early, she would have received so many Oscar or any other movie festivals awards as "the best actress" for so many times and again. what a loss and tragedy to us. she's not only a beauty but also a natural born actor. r.r. also looked so handsome and played a decent role in this film. but if you have watched this film adapted from the great American play writer, you'd inevitably find out that there were so many flaws in this specific play that have caused the screenplay writer, another great movie culture contributor, wrote a over-the-top pretentious and too much staged pretentious screenplay. if without the effortless and natural performance of the lovely actress, the movie itself would only have turned out barely watchable, since the whole movie was just so pretentious and overly staged. a mother pimping her daughter to get by? a married old guy openly obsessed with a young woman and with the consent of her mother, well, disgusting but possible.

pointer165 First Natalie is breathtaking to watch and I still miss her!.. her sister ,is played by the wonderful Mary Badham. The search for the right girl for " To Kill a Mockingbird" ended up with children that had no acting experience ( IN THAT AREA they filmed) in their lives(Mary played Scout )but forever became a part of our lives with their incredible performances...and she also stands out ,a bit older then" to Kill a Mockingbird" but still that feisty character that played "Scout" in Mockingbird! but Natalie steals this movie ....I just love watching her act..and Sydney Pollack directing Redford would prove a very long collaboration.I think Redford is the same in almost any movie, if they need a wild game hunter,"Out Of Africa" but costarring with Streep, they give a wonderful performance and he does the same thing as if it was in "Barefoot on the Park" nothing differs with his acting, that's my opinion but I like him in his movies...Hubbell .another name that will always go down in Film History...another point,Natalie wears ONE dress this entire movie, a thing a Hollywood actress would shun away from...but Tennessee Williams as the writer, you can't go wrong.Anytime I hear his words, as I do Truman Capote's words.."the world is AOK!" for me..WOW...Redford did "Barefoot in the Park" one year after this movie...that's interesting!revised: I just looked at it again and she wears more than one dress in the movie..sorry Natalie fans!..still just a great movie..how times were, when all you had to worry about was"train service" but T.Williams adds the fact of so many losing jobs, from the lose of that train service

bkoganbing A lot of you might remember Petticoat Junction where a running plot line was Charles Lane's continuing effort to close down the Hooterville Cannonball railroad from Hooterville to Pixley. The run obviously wasn't making money and a lot of the comedy revolved around the residents of Hooterville keeping that line open for their convenience.Tennessee Williams took the same situation about a small southern town in Mississippi where Robert Redford has come to close down the railroad stop in a small whistletown. In fact the main employer of the town seems to be the railroad. They probably would save a lot of money just skipping the town. That won't sit well with the employees, still Redford is charged with handing out the pink slips.A disproportionate amount of them fell on the boarders of Kate Reid's roominghouse where Redford is also staying. Reid has two daughters Mary Badham and the flirtatious and wild Natalie Wood who is a real attraction for all those railroad workers. Even Reid's boyfriend Charles Bronson has an eye on Wood.Wood's looking for Redford to take her out of this dull existence even if he is turning her little hamlet into a ghost town. He's not immune to her charms by any means. But there are a lot of angry and laid off people where they are and he's made enemies. Redford and Wood are good and they get good support from the rest of the cast. But This Property Is Condemend is second tier Tennessee Williams which is usually light years better than most writers. If Wood's character lives, she will be another Blanche Dubois in middle age.Fans of Tennessee Williams who enjoy his southern fried slices of Dixie life will like This Property Is Condemned. But they are not going to see another Streetcar Named Desire here.
