Rosalind Russell and brit Peter Redgrave, and they were both nominated for oscars for their roles! and Ray Massey. the Mannon family, with their dark family secrets. Period piece, just after the civil war, up in new england. with Kirk Douglas as Niles, just his second or third film role, according to wikipedia dot org. there's murder, revenge, suicide, broken hearts. something for everyone. they fit a lot of drama into this story, just under three hours. wow, long film! when someone steals Lavinia's boyfriend, the scheming wheels start turning. Directed by Dudley Nichols, who had won the oscar for "The Informer". Original story by Eugene O'neill. Film is okay. way too long for me.
