The film is adapted from a play be Tennessee Williams and it shows. The scenes are long and packed with dialogue and the action is limited to a few locations. The reason for all the secrecy is that the dead cousin was gay, although this is only hinted at and by not addressing this issue directly, the film does feel like it&#039;s dancing around the main point and this takes away from the drama. However, it&#039;s not a bad film.</blockquote>
