LUST NEW ENGLAND STYLE
This adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play is a weird mixture of the Bible, Shakespeare, Hawthorne and Tenessee Williams. 76 year-old New England farmer Burl Ives (he was actually about 48) marries 25 year-old Italian immigrant Sophia Loren. Ives' weak son, Anthony Perkins, lusts for Pop's new hottie and has a child with his step-mom. That kinky enough for you? Although Loren & Perkins are rivals for the old man's farm, lust wins out over greed. Loren is surprisingly good in this unfamiliar territory. In fact, her command of English is much better than her character would expect. Ives is robust and full of life; his crazy , tumbling dance in scene eleven in itself is worth the rental price. Perkins is the weak link--his hurried , careless delivery of some of his lines is unconvincing. Indeed, the overwritten, "literary" (i.e. phony)dialogue is a major flaw. While Perkins feels only lust for Loren, she professes to love him in return, resulting in what is meant to be a shocking denouement. A must-see only for Loren fans and English majors.
