Rating: 3/4 -- Seeing Marlon Brando still at the young, Method-fueled heights of his career makes the film imminently watchable Full Review

It is at once pretentious and frivolous, reaching for the largest meanings, but always short-circuiting them for melodramatic effect. Full Review

Rating: D -- An almost unbelievably sluggish and uninflected adaptation of Tennessee Williams' searing Orpheus Descending. Full Review

Marlon Brando as a poetic wanderer and Anna Magnani as a tragically repressed storekeeper perform superbly under Sidney Lumet's direction. Full Review

Highly theatrical and dripping with gothic atmosphere, it's hardly realistic and the love story never convinces, but it is mesmerizing... Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- Unfortunately the movie doesnt offer much else to supplement Brandos masterstrokes. Full Review

[Magnani's] magnificence -- beautiful, brittle yet immovable, eyes like proverbial shattered mirrors -- goads Brando into some of his finest work...

Product Description:

Based on Tennessee Williams' ORPHEUS DECENDING, THE FUGITIVE KIND stars Marlon Brando as Val Xavier, a guitar playing, snakeskin jacket wearing drifter who wanders into a small southern town after giving up a life of crime. There, he meets Carol Cutere (Woodward in an incendiary performance), the local bad girl, with whom he begins a stormy love affair. However, Val also gets involved with his boss' wife, the Lady (Magnani), who will do anything she can to stop Val from running off with Carol and keep him in her town. Flamboyant, melodramatic, and, by turns, absurd and profoundly affecting, THE FUGITIVE KIND is a fascinating movie that provided the inspiration for David Lynch's WILD AT HEART.
