Not-bad prequel to The Little Foxes – Regina isn’t as prominent, and she lacks the dynamism in the earlier play, especially as here played by Ann Blyth. More time is given to her dodgy brother (Vincent Price, always a good wastrel Southerner) and Dad (Walter Huston) who seems to harbour incestuous feelings for his daughter. It lacks a big solid climax or a scene like the heart attack one in Foxes, and you can see the reveal that the family was responsible for a massacre of local soldiers coming a mile off.
