Reflections in the Golden Eye

Legendary director John Huston united two legendary actors for this bizarre melodrama. Set on an Army base, a repressed homosexual major and his promiscuous wife are entangled in two different love triangles that leads to murder. Based on a novel by Carson McCullers, Huston got a stellar cast in Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Harris and Brian Keith who were drawn to the dark and twisted world of McCullers that provides them with memorable characters. Due to the dark and challenging material the film isn't as known as it should have been despite the talent involved who were at the top of their craft. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
