Morris Langdon (Brian Keith) and his wife Alison (Julie Harris).
Their next-door neighbors and frequent visitors are Lt. Marlon Brando plays Major Weldon Penderton, who’s married to Leonora (Elizabeth Taylor). The tale is set in 1948 in an isolated U.S. The mysterious nature of this murder, which is depicted at the end, provides the locus of the story. Huston begins the film with a statement from McCullers’ novel: ”There is a fort in the South where a few years ago a murder was committed.” And he repeats that statement at the end of the film. The film is well directed and shot, though at the time of its release, some critics complained about the adaptation, which they found to be too vague, too strange, too symbolic. In making Reflections in a Golden Eye, based on the challenging novel by Carson McCullers, director John Huston has treated the Gothic tale and its bizarre characters in a grotesquely dramatic manner, lacking delicacy or nuance.
