A Fred Zinnemann season starring Julie Harris with Ethel Waters
Brandon de Wilde , Arthur Franz
' It happened that green and crazy summer when Frankie was 12 years old. This was the summer when for a long time she had not been a member. She belonged to no club and was a member of nothing in the world.'
Fred Zinnemann has called Carson McCullers's moving novel ' one of the great works of modern American literature '. It ran for 500 performances on Broadway, and the film reproduces the faultless performances of the original stage principals - Julie Harris , Brandon de Wilde and Ethel Waters , who died earlier this month.
