super high quality soap opera, 19 July 2006

This movie has few pretensions at being great art. Instead, it's a very
glossy and high quality soap opera that deals with so many sleazy
elements in an entertaining way that it will keep your attention
throughout. In many ways, this film came out to capitalize on the
publicity surrounding Lana Turner's own screwed up family life (her
daughter killed boyfriend Johnny Stampanato in 1958)--instead of
running from the negative publicity, the movie exploited it, as the
film is about a supposedly conservative small town that instead seethes
with a cauldron of rape, murder, illegitimacy and hypocrisy! You might
have expected Ms. Turner instead to have done a movie akin to THE
SINGING NUN after the much publicized trial, but instead chose this
tell-all tale. All-in-all, an excellent movie with a great script,
wonderful acting and terrific production values.
