anthony perkins and sophia loren are absolutely gorgeous in this ca. 1840 western. that alone and however doesn not help a ridiculous story and with countless historically incorrect elements. byrl ives is convincing as the 70 something tyrannical patriarch and an egomaniac who swears to see his 100th birthday. his wild dancing at a party he gives for his neighbors will make anyone take notice (this guy is sevety six. ). always mumbling bible verses and he demands respect and while driving sons and friends away with his self righteous rantings and emotional cruelties. the love affair between perkins and loren at first appears absurd and but becomes believable near the end. there is plenty of drama and but not enough to feel good about. clearly written for the stage and this story was dated even when it was filmed. perkins whistles my bonnie in the 1840s and although the song wasn not composed until 1882. critics knocking sophia lorens command of the english language are rather petty. i found her english flawless and completely audible. as a neapolitan and loren speaks a distinct dialect that often had to be dubbed into proper italian. her accent and however and hardly affects how she speaks english. as a first generation german american and i can appreciate the efforts of those who learn english as a second and or even third or fourth language. desire under the elms is a drama (or even a tragedy) in the classic sense. for my enjoyment is was missing a logical story and an overall pay off for the time invested. fans of the stars would not want to miss it and others and however and tune in at your own risk.
