Living a lie in the name of the family
I saw the 'lighter' version of this period drama which was still a somewhat depressing saga, but nonetheless bittersweet tale of romance between the classes in conservative 1950's Texas. Fisher and Dillon make a charming couple who run afoul their disapproving parents who've more in common than they realise.
Connelly is solid as Fisher's protective father, unable to endorse his daughter's newfound love, whilst country singer/actor Axton has a comparably much smaller role playing Dillon's hard-working, more understanding dad. I also really enjoyed the antics of Dillon's roustabout friends Greenleaf and Atkins, and then Tyrrell later in the film as the 'entertainer' who befriends Fisher. The film's big stars have small but sympathetic roles, Crawford playing a compassionate family patriarch, whilst DeCarlo has a strangely superficial role (looks like it may have been edited down) as a kindly landlady.
Attractive sets and a likeable cast make it a little easier to consume what is otherwise a rather disturbing drama which doesn't always handle its subject matter as effectively as the plot demands - the cliffhanger unfolds too quickly, despite there being sufficient time for greater suspense, especially given how unsettling the consequences were to contemplate. Instead, the plot threads connect too conveniently in the film's rushed climax, which doesn't do the rest of the otherwise carefully curated film justice.
Nevertheless despite some mishandling of the more sensitive moments, the overall film is still compelling viewing and worth a watch, although having only seen what's referred to as the 'happy' version, the alternative ending could be too much to endure, all things considered.
