If you loved Hombre, try The Long, Hot Summer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Martin Ritt, and they both carry the autumnal, cult mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Hombre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Long, Hot Summer is

Autolycus meets Faulkner in a sunbaked Mississippi town where a drifter insinuates himself into the Varner dynasty then watches the house catch fire. A star-making turn by Paul Newman keeps the fuse short. 1958 Dixie noir.
