Heavy Deep South drama that feels as though it was conceived by Tennessee Williams. Were in New Orleans, and the weather outside is frightful: hot, muggy, the kind of climate that sends tempers soaring. Booth is a housewife in a loveless marriage with Quinn. His birthday is coming up, and she hopes to reawaken the love they knew years before by buying three birthday gifts for Quinn and giving them to their three children to give to him--anything to put the enraged Quinn in a better mood. She knows that hes been having an affair with Valerie Allen, but shes overlooking that. At the party an argument erupts with Holliman, the oldest son, who works for Quinn at his employment agency, because Holliman wants to leave the business and open his own agency. All of this causes youngest son Clint Kimbrough to leave the dinner table. Now Quinn discovers daughter MacLaine mushing it up on the porch with her fella, Warren Stevens. Quinn doesnt like anyone taking liberties with his only daughter, so he point-blank asks if Stevens intends to marry MacLaine. Later, Quinn takes Kimbrough to the local pool room in an attempt to get closer to the boy. He tries to explain to him that a grown man must be true to himself, besides being a father and a husband, and that life is short and one must take things as they come. Kimbrough doesnt understand a word of what Quinn is saying until he sees his father drive off with Allen under the guise of having to "see someone on business." (texto oficial do distribuidor)
