Arguably Ava Gardner's finest performance, and I never could resist Grayson Hall. (I'm still waiting for a Blu-ray release of SATAN IN HIGH HEELS...). But all of the performances are excellent, and Huston does a terrific job creating a sense of location and a sense of community among these disparate characters. The advertising plays up the passions, but there are a lot of lovely and quiet moments in the film.

Allegedly, Miss Davis was rather jealous of the acclaim bestowed upon Miss Leighton during their time together in the Broadway production. Also, it has been reported that when Miss Davis entered each night (to applause), she would stop the show to take bows. She claimed that she had to do it, otherwise the audience would have never stopped applauding, but others have interpreted her actions with a certain amount of eye-rolling and skepticism. (When Hollywood comes to Broadway...)

Agree w you on all points including Grayson Hall. The quiet moments are the heart of the piece. Some of Williams' finest moments.
