NOTES Strange film set in the American south. The British actress,

Redgrave, plays the lead part of a spinsterish woman who

dominates a small town. The British actor, Simon Callow,

directs for the first time and the Indian Ismail Merchant

produces. All have excellent credentials but the film

apparently doesn't gel. Cork Hubbert plays her cousin, a

dwarf who arrives on the scene to prepare the way for the

return of her ex-husband .

From novella by Carson McCullers and play by Edward Albee
