Wissenswertes
Horton Foote, at first, would not allow another film version of his play, because he didn't want anybody to play Carrie except Lillian Gish. He later agreed, but only if either Geraldine Page or Kim Stanley played Carrie.

Patzer
The statement about the location NOT looking like the Montrose neighborhood of Houston is NOT accurate. People who have lived in Houston know the Montrose neighborhood, among others, has houses built on man-made banks to protect property from floods. Although the scene was filmed in the Dallas area, the street and the houses on banks look exactly like Montrose. All of Houston is NOT flat.

Zitate
Mrs. Carrie Watts: I guess when you've lived longer than your house and your family, then you've lived long enough.

Standing Ovation

I knew nothing of this film, the night of the Academy Awards, but what I always remember about that Oscar night, is the moment they announced Geraldine Page as the winner for Best Actress ... the entire audience gave her a standing ovation. You just don't see that very often on Oscar night - not unless it's something special. That really impressed me. So I had to see what it was all about.

Well, Geraldine Page, put on a clinic in this movie. She is incredible. I just can't say enough about her performance, so I won't even try. You will just have to see it.

It is great to know that a spectacular movie can still be made with a simple but strong story line. No violence, no foul language, no special effects. Pure raw emotion,a big heart, the music and the beautiful photography carried the entire film. If you ever find yourself looking for a simple but magnificent story ... this is it. And don't rent it - buy it!
