the Roaring 20&#8217;s.\u00a0 The place &#8211; Memphis, Tennessee.\u00a0 The girl &#8211; Fisher Willow, a young society heiress who balks at custom and propriety, instead electing to go her own way, rebel against her family\u2019s wishes and internally rage against who and what she is.\u00a0 Society season is setting in and Fisher has no intention of missing out on a single event.\u00a0 Of course, what girl can go to any dance without the proper escort.\u00a0 And for Fisher, thanks to her daddy\u2019s money, that means she can have anyone in the County.\u00a0 But Fisher doesn\u2019t want just anyone.\u00a0 Fisher has her eyes on the prize &#8211; Jimmy Dobyne &#8211; the handsomest and nicest guy around, who just happens to be penniless and whose father works as a caretaker for Fisher\u2019s father, something that pleases Fisher to no end as it will displease her daddy.\u00a0 Unfortunately for Fisher, Jimmy Dobyne isn\u2019t interested in Fisher which forces her into a business arrangement with him, an arrangement she will live to regret.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Turning heads wherever they go, Fisher\u2019s social life is going along swimmingly, that is until she loses a $5,000.00 teardrop diamond earring, loaned to her for the season by her aunt Cornelia, and in the course of one evening, Fisher\u2019s life and that of everyone around her is turned upside down as deception, back-stabbing and idiosyncratic personalities take hold, forcing Fisher to face her inner most demons and something she fears above all, love and kindness.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9508\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-21_235954-400x149.jpg\" alt=\"2010-01-21_235954\" width=\"400\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-21_235954-400x149.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-21_235954-600x224.jpg 600w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-21_235954-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-21_235954.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bryce Dallas Howard gives a powerful performance as the emotionally embattled Fisher Willow. Most effective playing the charming southern belle, Howard mesmerizes when having Fisher \u201cperform\u201d for those around her, making it more than enjoyable to watch Howard play Fisher who is essentially playing her friends.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I continually sensed Howard channeling Vivien Leigh&#8217;s Scarlett O&#8217;Hara or Bette Davis&#8217; Jezebel or Joanne Woodward&#8217;s Clara Varner in the THE LONG HOT SUMMER or \u201cEve\u201d in \u201cThe Three Faces of Eve\u201d or even as Amanda in THE GLASS MENAGERIE, and it is this channeling that leads to an erratic performance, not the least of which is the inconsistency of her Southern accent &#8211; surprising since Howard\u2019s family hails from the South.\u00a0 When she was being sweet as pie and trying to be demur like a good southern lady, her accent was right on sugary southern, but the minute she got any fire into the character or raised her voice (some of her most dynamic scenes, mind you), the accent waffled and then totally disappeared whenever she was angered or yelling. Very distracting.\u00a0 Visually, though, her transformation into Fisher is stunning and impeccable.<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9509\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000028-400x144.jpg\" alt=\"2010-01-22_000028\" width=\"400\" height=\"144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000028-400x144.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000028-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000028.jpg 605w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The supporting cast provides some of the film\u2019s finest assets, not the least of which are Ellen Burstyn and Chris Evans. Burstyn could actually grab an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Miss Addie. She is incredible. Forceful, determined, spirited, the moral compass so to speak of the film (along with Evans&#8217; Jimmy) and a driving force to correct the conscious of Fisher Willow. Her monologues are exquisite. Chris Evans is rock solid and just melts everyone with those blue eyes and eyelashes. Mesmerizing. Easy to see why Fisher would be dead set on having Jimmy as her own if he looked like Evans.\u00a0\u00a0 You will find yourself sighing more than once as a tuxedoed Evans enters the room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9510\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000113-400x148.jpg\" alt=\"2010-01-22_000113\" width=\"400\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000113-400x148.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000113-600x223.jpg 600w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000113-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000113.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A real casting surprise and joy is Ann-Margret who is effective but under-used as Aunt Cornelia Fisher, sending her niece out with escort Jimmy Dobyne and then we don&#8217;t see her again.\u00a0 Margret, who has appeared in several different roles in various Williams\u2019 works is wonderful here as the stoic, prim and proper Aunt with the teardrop diamonds.\u00a0 I just wish we had seen more of her.\u00a0 And as comes as no surprise, Mamie Gummer (the spitting image of her mother) is entertaining as Fisher&#8217;s best friend, Julie, with a lighter em<\/span>otional role amidst the heavy psychological and histrionic drama of Howard&#8217;s Fisher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Particularly commendable for all of the actors, and particularly Howard, Evans and Burstyn, is the excellence in the execution of dialogue rich monologues.\u00a0 For Howard, \u201cto get to do a piece where the characters get to talk a lot, was really wonderful for me and juicy and exciting.\u00a0 The characters are speaking their mind as opposed to just being an expression, they are actually saying what\u2019s on their mind, something that Tennessee Williams is really famous for.\u00a0 You crave that when you are an actor.\u201d<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9511\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000126-400x147.jpg\" alt=\"2010-01-22_000126\" width=\"400\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000126-400x147.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000126-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-01-22_000126.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First time director Jodie Markell\u2019s love of the project and desire to do well by Williams is evident from the opening frame, however, what is also evident is some confusion over whether this is a play or a film.\u00a0\u00a0 Did Markell want to make a movie or direct a play because by film\u2019s end I\u2019m still not sure what she intended. Given her own theatre background, and the staging of this film, I think she should concentrate on theatre as the theatrical elements are wonderful, albeit misplaced in film. Take a close look at the bedroom scene with Fisher and Miss Addie. Slowly the lights in the bedroom fade and the two are swathed in a spot light which then narrows to just shine on Miss Addie.\u00a0 Totally theatric. Then, a crying Fisher pounding out her aggression on a piano with depressing sonatas &#8211; the room lights dim and a spotlight shines on Fisher as she plays. I expect this in a stage production, but not intermingled with straightforward filming.\u00a0\u00a0 On talking with Markell about these aspects she explains \u201cI never thought of them as theatrical elements but it might translate that way for an audience.\u00a0 I completely think that\u2019s wonderful.\u00a0 But what I thought of it was, I isolated them in a world and lifting up the somewhat poetic dreamlike quality of Williams\u2019 work.\u00a0 That particular scene with Ellen and Bryce&#8230;Williams wrote \u2018it\u2019s as if a portal opens to another world\u2019 so I wanted to reflect that in the lighting.\u00a0 I also thought this would be great because it can lift us into another dimension because it\u2019s the first time Fisher is able to speak from her heart&#8230;I wanted to visually reflect that almost like putting an iris onto them.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 And what about original visuals? They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but to duplicate not one scene, but multiple scenes from other films when not a spoof or comedy, for me, shows a lack of imagination on the part of a director.\u00a0 Take for example a shot of Fisher and Jimmy on the levee, a plantation in the offing with the sun rising. Now take a look at the infamous scene in GWTW where Scarlett is standing with her Pa under a tree with Tara in the distance and the sun rising in the east.\u00a0 But for the clothes, we have pretty much the same shot. Same thing with Fisher sashaying in front of the car headlights at the levee. Take a look at Nicole Kidman in Gus Van Sant&#8217;s \u201cTo Die For.\u201d Same shot. Even similar physical moves by Howard that mimic Kidman. I also noted a minor faux pax with a writing pen of Fisher\u2019s.\u00a0 That particular style had not yet been invented.\u00a0 Despite these disappointments, I am impressed with what Markell has done with the film and am curious to see what she does in the future either with film or if she elects to stay in her comfort zone of theater which I believe to be her true calling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Where the film really excels is in costuming and production design, both of which are outstanding, and particularly the costuming for Ann-Margret and Bryce Howard. The different eras are reflected beautifully while the party dresses for Fisher are exquisite with the detail and beading. Chrisi Karvonides should be awarded for his work as should Vivian Baker for her great make-up job on Howard, with applause to Emanuel Millar for some great wigs and looks for the ladies. There is no doubt that this aided in transporting one to the South and the sensibilities of the Tennessee Williams&#8217; era.\u00a0\u00a0 Adding to the beauty of the film is Giles Buttgens\u2019 photography which is\u00a0 outstanding, particularly when capturing the quiet beauty of the antebellum South through Cornelia Fisher&#8217;s gardens, which are magnificent, and the post reconstruction era of the 1920&#8217;s. The production design of Richard Hoover and David Stein goes far in tacitly defining the characters&#8217; economic class structures and demographics.\u00a0\u00a0 Sadly, however, the teardrop diamond earrings in the film are not real although Cornelia Fisher\u2019s house is an actual plantation called \u201cCornelia\u2019s House.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Complimented by Mark Orton\u2019s wonderful score, from beautiful costumes to exquisite imagery to a first rate cast with a wonderful new indelible character in Fisher Willow, THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND is a newfound Williams work that is not to be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fisher Willow &#8211; Bryce Dallas Howard<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jimmy Dobyne &#8211; Chris Evans<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Miss Addie &#8211; Ellen Burstyn<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cornelia Fisher &#8211; Ann-Margret<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Directed by Jodie Markell.\u00a0 Written by Tennessee Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias Tennessee Williams is long and widely considered to be one of, if not the most celebrated and important American playwright of our time.\u00a0 His collected works are prolific and memorable, taking not only the stage by storm, but the silver screen as well.\u00a0 Celebrating the grandeur, pomp, and dare I say, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9511,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[1433],"class_list":["post-9505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews","tag-the-loss-of-a-teardrop-diamond"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
