Vanessa Redgrave plays a powerful Southern matriarch who, sequestered in her cafe/general store, holds her home town in the palm of her hand. Redgrave's benevolent despotry is threatened by the arrival of her hunchbacked cousin Cork Hubbert (Michael Dunn) & her jailbird husband Keith Carradine. Unable to remove this threat to her authority by her usual means, Redgrave is reduced to challenging Carradine to a bare-knuckle fight! Carson McCullers' fascination with the disintegration of the Old South, coupled with her preoccupation with the grotesque, requires delicate handling (as witness Heart is a Lonely Hunter). (official distributor synopsis)
