A little less than two weeks ago I featured the poster for Bryce Dallas Howard's The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond and now we have the trailer.
The film is a long-forgotten Tennessee Williams screenplay starring Bryce Dallas Howard as Fisher Willow, the disliked 1920s Memphis debutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her.
After returning from studies overseas, Fisher falls in love with Jimmy (Chris Evans), the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father (David Strathairn) and an insane mother who works at a store on her family's plantation. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt (Ann-Margret) who controls her family's fortune, but when she loses a diamond, it places their tenuous relationship in further jeopardy.
Check out the trailer below and for those in New York and Los Angeles the film arrives on December 30
that looks terrible
it makes it look/sound like the movie itself was recently discovered. How odd.
But I think there could be a decent movie hiding underneath that terrible voice-over.
Could be okay. Could be great. Could be saccharine and soppy. It doesn't look like it has enough energy to pull off another "Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a Day."
PG-13? I doubt it'll get an R, but it looks a bit too saucy for PG.
