She gets the shape of the role. It also features phenomenal stars Ellen Burstyn and Ann-Margret in wonderful, surprising cameos. I didn't recognize Bryce Dallas Howard, who gives a fine performance, but Chris Evans is what Chris Evans would be if he routinely talked in a Southern accent. 28 out of 32 found this helpful.

This Tennesse Williams period story is strangely delightful and focuses on life in the south in the late 1920s. Was this review helpful? 1 out of 3 found this helpful. This story however, is far from the classics he usually wrote. It is beautiful, rich and luscious, with every shot dressed up nicely. Now blink you eyes and the plot takes you to a movie experience from before 1950. January 6, 2010 18 out of 47 found this helpful. He is actually the grandson of a governor, so everyone actually knows his name and respects his grandfather. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? It is refreshing to see a Tennessee Williams film where his screenplay is used. February 8, 2010 It has been filmed in a respectful manner that evokes a touring production of an only moderately successful Broadway play. The fact that it got made in this century is a pleasant and amusing surprise. She plays a meaner character in 'The Help' but I very much preferred her in that. But the stories are so sad and depressing. All in all, the screenplay was excellent, supporting cast stellar and topped off with impeccable dialogue. This film feels like Tennessee Williams's work from beginning to end, and one can almost draw one-to-one parallels from The Loss of the Teardrop Diamond to Cat on the Hot Tin Roof; both films are about maintaining integrity in a dishonest and disappointing world, but Teardrop is far less subtle, almost banging you on the head with speeches about how one's word is all that one can truly control. It's a delightful and lovely drama, with great screenplay, and outstanding performances by both leading actress and actor. Everything from the authentic costumes and sets to the collection of actors (a far cry from the melodramatic Leigh, Taylor, Brando and rest of the troupe of old previously favored for earlier renditions of Williams' work). Sidney Poitier’s 7 Most Memorable Performances Admittedly, "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond" does have a couple of things going for it such as a good cast and a fabulous look which helps in its detached view of the upper rungs of the society of this time and place.

PG-13 (for some sexuality and drug content) So, she hits the debutante circuit, asking Jimmy(Chris Evans) to escort her. Chris Evans shines-has their been a sexier role for a young actor? It has been filmed in a respectful manner that evokes a touring production of an only moderately successful Broadway play. An heiress accuses a farmhand, whom she has employed to be her escort, of stealing a diamond earring. This Tennessee Williams period story focuses on life in the south in the late twenties. When I first heard that Chris Evans was in this film (that and the fact that he would be playing the leading male protagonist) I had my doubts but I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by his performance.

Fisher Willow a headstrong young heiress chafes under the constraints of proper Southern society and rebels by asking the impoverished but handsome son of her father's caretaker, Jimmy Dobyne, to escort her to the major Memphis social events of the season. January 4, 2010 The cast is adequate, given the material, and the direction (Jodie Markell) is pretty shoddy. This is a change of pace and refreshing as a breath of cool evening river wind. 18 out of 20 found this helpful. | Rating: 3/4 Get the latest movie times, trailers and celebrity interviews. He's a grandson to a former governor although his father (Will Patton) is a drunk and his mother is in an asylum. The words drip with affectation (as do the actors) and Jodie Mankell's direction is dipped in southern gothic honey and glazed over with period sprinkles. ...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. | Understand that, accept it, and the film has its rewards and one performance of great passion. Julie's cousin Vinnie (Jessica Collins) takes an immediate dislike to Fisher and a liking to Jimmy. 11 out of 14 found this helpful. Fisher Willow (Bryce Dallas Howard) returns to Memphis from Europe to find her father much hated for that selfish act to save his own property. | Rating: 2.5/4 Was this review helpful?
