Raintree County (1957, USA) C-168m. SCOPE *** D: Edward Dymtryk. Starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Marie Saint, Nigel Patrick, Lee Marvin, Rod Taylor, Agnes Moorehead, DeForest Kelley. MGM's Civil War epic about simple-minded but righteous Clift, who leaves Saint to marry belle Taylor. His new wife, however, has problems of her own, ever since she had a traumatic encounter in her childhood. GONE WITH THE WIND it ain't, but still compelling, well-acted. Based on Ross Lockridge Jr.'s novel. Photographed by Robert Surtees in a 2.55:1 process called MGM Camera 65 (the same one used for BEN-HUR).
