**_Local politics & drama in a rural Florida

**_Local politics & drama in a rural Florida town on the southwest coast, 1961_** Ed Harris stars as a brooding reporter who is compromised by a seemingly necessary deal made with an ambitious county commissioner (Richard Jordan); meanwhile he longs for a widowed friend (Blair Brown). On the surface, the story’s about saving an unspoiled bay from an arrogant developer, but it’s really about the protagonist’s day-to-day struggles with his ailing wife, his conscience and, in general, the negatives of living in a ‘fallen’ world. The idea is that a person can be complicated enough to hold two opposing views, but there’s a problem if lust for lucre turns you into an unfaithful two-faced. The director is from Florida and well captures the moist heat of the southern Florida coast, as well as the nature of small town life where everyone thinks they know everyone else’s business and unveiled secrets can cause one to flee the county. Unfortunately, the story’s not as compelling or rewarding as the director’s “Ulee’s Gold” or Harris’ similar “China Moon” and “Pollock” or even “Milk Money.” Blair was 36 during shooting and isn’t depicted in a very attractive way, as she was 3-4 years earlier in “Continental Divide” and “Altered States.” She could’ve been; she just wasn’t. One last thing, the movie poster is one of the blandest I can recall. The illustration of Ed Harris doesn’t look much like him. Any chance of success the flick had died with that poster. It runs 2h 1m and was shot in 1983 at Fort Myers, which is a 2h 20m drive south of the Tampa area. GRADE: C+/B-

Gorgeous Film With Fine Performances - Why No Release?

For many years I treasured my 4:3 VHS copy of this film, assuming it had been photographed on 16mm on a very low budget. As it turns out this is not the case. Two years ago this film appeared on Netflix Instant in HD. It was available for about six weeks before disappearing without a trace. I watched it in full, stunned to see a gorgeously photographed 35mm film in crystal clear widescreen. One of the things you cannot appreciate when watching the VHS copy is the stellar art direction and costume design. The lush pastel colors, the swampy Florida locations, the 1950s cars, the grimy office interiors. It's all vividly presented. I wish the company or persons sitting on that HD copy would release it on bluray or put it back up somewhere for a while. This film is one of those lost 1980s films that deserves a wide release.
