User Review: 27Nov01: Saw this on Sat 16th Nov. I went to see it as I wanted to see both Brenden Fraser AND Ned Beatty. I thought all the performances were excellent. I have always known that Ned Beatty was a good straight actor (and not just Lex Luthors side kick!), and having seen Gods and Monsters, and a little gem called the Passion of Darkly Noon I know that there is much more to Mr Fraser than goof ball comedy. The rest of the cast gave admirable performances, and on the night I went the part of Maggie was played by the understudy who did a superb job. User Reviews

Its summer, and very hot, in the house of Big Daddy - the Mississippi delta's richest cotton planter. Maggie fights to save her marriage to his son. Imprisoned by the past the family is torn apart by revelations of lust, greed and envy. A Pulitzer Prize winner.
