The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond Plot Summary :
Tells the story of Fisher Willow, the disliked 1920s Memphis débutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her. After returning from studies overseas,
Fisher falls in love with Jimmy, the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father and an insane mother who works at a store on her family's plantation. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt who controls her family's fortune, but when she loses a diamond,
A young and rebellious socialite Fisher Willow, tainted by a family scandal, boldly hires farm hand Jimmy Dobyne to be her escort for the elaborate party season. As her passion for Jimmy grows, Fisher defies social convention and the burden of history to risk everything for a chance at real love... until the loss of a priceless diamond sets off a series of accusations and betrayals that threaten to shatter their hopes for the future. With his indelible characters and breathtaking Southern backdrops, Williams paints a heartbreaking tale of seduction and loss
The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond Hollywood Movie Review :
Being a big fan of Bryce Dallas Howard and an avid admirer of all things Tennessee Williams I was adamant to see this, a film produced from a forgotten screenplay of his. This is classic kind of story of his, focusing on the Fisher Willow - a privileged girl returning from her studies abroad and disgraced in Memphis society for her father's ruthless actions. She's a complex girl yearning to break free, brilliantly blasé over the airs and graces of her débutante peers, she's lost her reputation but not her sparkling wit - and Bryce Dallas Howard flawlessly tackles the accent and sass of a southern Belle. With no eligible bachelor willing to take her to social events she enlists the help of a farm boy grandson of a mayor Jimmy (played passably by Chris Evans) to escort her to these "agonising parties". She also makes moves on him through her own sad manners of seduction but to no avail, he is too distanced by societal divisions and his own sense of inadequacy.
The story eventually slows down and focuses on a grand Halloween party during which the titular incident takes place and the drama unfolds. This is a very handsome film - fluid camera-work, gorgeous production design, lovely Southern scenery - it's a story on a small-scale but wonderfully theatrical execution with excellent support from Mamie Gummer and Ellen Bursty. Amidst the chaos of the party there are a few dramatic arias that are quite old fashioned but effective and segue into only more revelations, yet throughout Howard maintains enough exuberance, conviction and restraint to hold onto the audience's affection and so that we feel her internal struggle. She is just a delight
