Product Description

Amazon.ca

Jessica Lange deserves three cheers for her performance as an army wife in the early 1960s. Sensuous and unpredictable, Lange bridles at the restrictions in her life and is constantly seeking attention. Tommy Lee Jones is the nuclear engineer who adores her, but is just as passionate toward his career. Lange and Jones sizzle in spite of a weak plot tangent concerning the military cover-up of nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. The love story is everything as it bursts with undercurrents of passion, regret, sorrow, and joy. Lange's sexy, high-strung performance earned her an Oscar. It was director Tony Richardson's last film. --Rochelle O'Gorman

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film with wonderful acting... May 7 2003
By James F. Anderson III
Format:DVD
This film depicts Jessica Lange as the wild, slightly crazy wife of Army officer Tommy Lee Jones. Lange and Jones are really perfectly paired in this film, and their acting talents shine through. Overlooked by many are the wonderful jobs the actors who played their children performed. It is quite a shame that this film did not receive the recognition it deserved, for the plot and acting are tremendous. The DVD is short on special features (only has the theatrical trailer), but the audio and video quality are excellent. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars hard to believe this was shelved for a few years May 7 2003
By momazon
Format:DVD
This is an extraordinary movie, with a role that earned jessica Lange an Oscar for Best Actress. Lange is Carly Marshall, a mentally unstable wife and mother who refuses to be pigeonholed into the life of moving from military base to military base as her husband's career dictates (Tommy Lee Jones in a powerful role.) This wreaks havoc on their two daughters (Amy Locane and Anna Klemp) who must pick up the slack of running the household and raising themselves since their mother can't do it and their father expends all his energy running after and caring for her.

Carly is like a large hibiscus rapidly outgorwing its greenhouse. She just thinks about how very glamorous she is like the movie star du jour in the late 1960s. In addition, her husband's work as a military nuclear engineer leads him to discover a cover-up of nuclear testing in Nevada. This situation forces Carly to think of someone other than herslef and show a little love and strength of character.

It is an original story, with a great cast and writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars True love tested Oct 10 2001
By Lichelle R Martinosky
Format:DVD
This story brings home the conflicts, stress, emotions, and hardships of being a family in the Army. (A situation I am glad I never endured) An emotional and sexually charged wife of a career military man trying to deal with family, loneliness, and the stress of moving alot and her adoring, but career minded husband.
Her sexuality and infidelity strain the marraige and he is torn between his morals and ability to do his job, and keep his family together. Emotionally riveting!!
