      Three and a half stars, mediocre for the same genre but the cast is too flashy! Orson, the forced-marriage father, poor boy, after all, Woodward played the role of an old maid. Rei Lemick is so beautiful even though it's just a vase accessory inside.

    The Long, Hot Summer quotes

    • Ben: You look like two butterflies lit out on the grass.

    • Ben: Put them things down, Miss Clara, 'cause I'm gonna kiss you. I'm gonna show you how simple it is. You please me, and I'll please you.

      [Attempts to kiss Clara, but she slaps him across the face]

      Ben: [chuckles] Oh, I know what's troublin' you. It's all those boys hollerin' for Eula every night. And Eula with her hair hangin' down and Jody with his shirt off chasin' her. And your old man at 60 and he's callin' on his lady love.

      [Bends down to kiss Clara, and she makes no resistance]

      Clara: All right, you proved it. I'm human.

      Ben: Yes, ma'am. You human, all right.
