Handsome Chance Wayne never found the Hollywood stardom he craved, but he’s always been a star with the ladies. Now, back in his sleepy, sweaty Gulf Coast hometown, he’s involved with two of them: a washed-up, drug-and-vodka-addled movie queen and the girl he left behind…and in trouble. Paul Newman, Best Actress Oscar® nominee Geraldine Page, Rip Torn and Madeleine Sherwood re-create their stage roles, and Ed Begley gives an Oscar®-winning* portrayal as the town’s corrupt political boss in a bravura film version of Tennessee Williams’ Broadway hit. Sex. Money. Hypocrisy. Financial and emotional blackmail. Familiar elements of Williams’ literary realm combine powerfully as Chance battles his private demons in a desperate bid to redeem his wasted life and recapture his lost sweet bird of youth.

Nice! Keep the Newman releases coming.

Finally!! Been wishing for this one for quite a while. It should look rich on BD. Geraldine Page gives a magnificent performance as always.

Huh, I just now realized how funny it is that Rip Torn was married to Geraldine Page.

It's interesting to watch their scene together knowing they were already a couple at that point. You'd never know it. Brilliant actors.
I've enjoyed this new blu release very much. It looks great and I'd forgotten just how much tension and heat is in this story. A couple of shocking moments as well. The screen test between Geraldine and Rip is fascinating as well. It's got me rediscovering and revisiting more works of the great Tennessee Williams.

Yeah, I just found it amusing that their last names complement each other.
