I only saw this a few years ago and I just loved it. Once you see it you can see how/why Paul Newman ended up marrying Joanne Woodward in 'real-life'. It is based on stories by William Faulkner, primarily "The Hamlet," but completely removes the Snopes family.
The film was entered into the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, with Newman winning the award for Best Actor in the role of 'Ben Quick'. I remember feeling the actual 'hotness' of the summer while watching this film. Not many movies can actually make you feel the climate. A great film...
