The Long, Hot Summer (1958)



Synopsis

A suspected barnburner is given a second chance by a wealthy landowner. The landowner wants to marry off his daughter, so he endows the man with a home and a job in the hopes of securing that goal.

Review

Sultry and entertaining. Does have some slow parts. Get some real eye candy in Newman.
