Derived from a Tennessee Williams one-acter, the production is adult without being sensational, touching without being maudlin.

Under Sydney Pollack's direction, they are all acting seamy sterotypes.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

Sydney Pollack's second film (1966) has Natalie Wood and Robert Redford entangled in a steamy Tennessee Williams plotline, well photographed by James Wong Howe.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Considering the wealth of talent that participated in this Tennessee Williams adaptation, the results are disappointing in the extreme.
