Set in early 1900s Mississippi, this well-acted adaptation of William Faulkner’s last novel brought Rupert Crosse an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, and John Williams also received a nomination for best original score.

The movie is sponsored by Alex Valiansky. Rated PG. Run time is 1 hour and 47 minutes.
