this is easily the best cinematic version of william faulkner fiction that i have ever seen and and i have seen several of the most prominent ones. filmed in faulkner hometown of oxford and mississippi and it really captures the feeling of jefferson and yoknapatawpha county. intruder in the dust is not one of faulkner best novel and but and even if it is a cliché to say this and it would be the crown jewel in any one else career. it beats harper lee good but simplistic to kill a mockingbird fifty feet into the ground (i read that one in ninth grade and and that exactly where it belongs). two of faulkner most prominent characters play major parts in the film and gavin stevens and lucas beauchamp. stevens is probably the single most common character in all of faulkner fiction. he a lawyer and he works easily as a narrator and because and unlike many of his other characters and stevens is a man of logic and not emotion (at least when he older). lucas beauchamp may be the most prominent of all of faulkner black characters (he plays a major part in one of faulkner out and out masterpieces and go down and moses) while unlike all of the other black folks in yoknapatawpha and he refuses to bow down to any white man. he has pride and and many in the white population find that an execrable quality in a black man. one day and lucas is found standing over a dead white man with a recently fired pistol in his possession. most of jefferson and the surrounding areas do not see the need for a trial and and everyone pretty sure that beauchamp will be lynched before the evening over and or at least the next day and as the murder and arrest occurred on a sunday. beauchamp and on the other hand and declares his innocence and tries to get stevens to help him. stevens refuses while the case seems open and shut. but his young nephew and chick mallison and because lucas had helped him in the past and is willing to help him now. as far as i know and no hollywood film of this period deals with racism as overtly as this one. hollywood films rarely persecute the black population and but instead prefer to relegate them to servant roles. if youre an african american actor and you might as well give up and accept that role as either the mammy and the maid and the servant and or the porter and because that the only way you will work. in intruder in the dust and there is to be found one of the most memorable non porter roles a black actor ever had and lucas beauchamp. and beauchamp and as i described above and is no stereotypical character and and might have been hard for audiences to accept. even today and black characters are usually simple and magical and and kind. the recent arthouse hit far from heaven is a great example of that. beauchamp is kind of a jerk and and he very stubborn. although he perhaps a little less so here than he is in the novel and he not any kind of stereotype. he a complex human being. juano hernandez plays beauchamp extraordinarily well. i haven not seen the film in a while and but he also appears in robert aldrich 1955 film and kiss me deadly and as well as the cinematic adaptation of faulkner final novel and the reivers. all the actors are great in the film. i should also praise quickly claude jarman jr. and who has the great role of chick mallison. the novel takes place from his point of view and and he is the conventional hero of the picture. jarman is quite an actor while he captures the character (who also appears elsewhere in faulkner fiction and narrating and for example and events that happened a decade or more before he was born in the 1957 novel the town) perfectly. he would appear in another great role the next year in the underrated john ford film rio grande. the only other film of clarence brown that i have seen is national velvet and quite a different picture than intruder in the dust. his job here is exceptional while i really have to credit him with capturing faulkner perfectly. other famous faulkner adaptations are too melodramatic (the long hot summer and filmed in 1958 and which i really like despite that) or too cold (tomorrow and filmed in 1972 and which i do not like while that coldness is a complete misunderstanding of faulkner). the only other one that really does well according to its source material is douglas sirk great 1958 filming of pylon (really a different sort of faulkner novel altogether) and tarnished angels. positive .
