Review of Raintree County (1957) by Ashley H — 02 Dec 2007

For too long [i]Raintree County[/i] has been compared with [i]Gone with the Wind[/i]. The whole story and concept is different. I agree with another poster here that Liz Taylor is marvelous in this, playing out her mental illness.

How sad that Montgomery Clift died so young. There was so much potential in him for older male roles of character years later. Also I think the cinematography is quite rich. Perhaps the late MGM work is not all that great but this one is hardly as terrible as so many film critics and historians have told us over the years since it was made in 1957.
