Sladka ptica mladosti

Slovenski opis filma:

Režija: Richard Brooks Scenarij: Tennessee Williams (drama), Richard Brooks Igrajo: Paul Newman, Geraldine Page, Shirley Knight Chance je naivni mladenič, ki želi postati igralec. Zaljubljen je v Heavenly, hčer vplivnega in pokvarjenega floridskega oblastnika Finleyja. Ta pa ni navdušen nad nedolžnim parom. Hčerinega snubca izžene iz mesta in ga mastno podkupi v zameno za obljubo, da ne bo več navezal stikov z njo. Chance se po nekaj neuspešnih letih v filmski industriji, kamor se mu je uspelo prebiti le kot spremljevalcu ostarelih zvezdnic, vrne v rojstno mesto, z njim pa potuje tudi zapita diva Alexandra Del Lago. Končno namerava premagati Finleyja in dobiti nazaj to, kar je izgubil. Film je posnet po gledališki igri Tennesseeja Williamsa, mojstra ameriške dramatike, ki je pisal v žanru t. i. južne gotike.
