A teenage girl, abandoned at birth by her mother, falls in love with an unscrupulous carnival artist and almost loses her meagre inheritance.

Joanne Woodward plays the child-woman in this story, reminiscent of Tennessee Williams' Baby Doll, set in the Deep South and based on William Faulkner's famous novel.

This was the second Faulkner novel that director Martin Ritt made (the first was The Long Hot Summer) with writers Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr. They also co-operated on the very successful Hud as well as Hombre.

"The best scenes in 'Husbands' are among the most extraordinary Cassavetes has ever done... It may well turn out to be a master-piece." (The Times)

This documentary shows, with film from script sessions, locations and rushes, how three American actors, John Cassavetes, Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk, worked together to get the 'unscripted moments that can never be planned for.'
