REFLECTIONS IN A GOLDEN EYE (1967)

JOHN HUSTON

Plot

A sweaty and atmospheric adaptation of Carson McMullen's novel, 'The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter', a bizarre tale of sex, betrayal, and perversion at a military post. Major Penderton's wife is having an affair with his superior officer, a situation that the Major seems strangely unconcerned by, and much more. It is on one sultry evening when adulterers and cuckolds join together for drinks that the repressed desires and emotions of those present are finally given vent. Reflections In A Golden Eye is a tense and steamy drama, reminiscent of 'Whose Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?'.
