The Sound and the Fury (1959) Synopsis
Loosely-based on the William Faulkner novel, this movie follows the lives and passions of the Compsons, a once-proud Southern family now just barely scraping by--both financially and emotionally. Howard passes the time in a bottle; his brother Benjy is a child in a man's body; sister Caddy has come crawling home after years of being kept by a string of "admirers." Only Jason, the cruel, cold-hearted adopted head of the family; and Quentin, who was abandoned by Caddy at birth, have the fire and the fury needed to put the family back on its feet again.—A.L.Beneteau
