Splendor in the Grass is finally out on Blu-Ray

LOVE the "SLUTTY TRAMPY SISTER"!!

I'm a GOOD GIRL I AM!!

The French loved it, a lot of American critics thought it was over-heated and over the top. Young people loved it, and was part of the early ‘60s trend in movies to normaize pre-marital sex.

It used to be on TV all the time and I grew up loving it. One of Natalie Wood’s two finest performances (the other is “Love With the Proper Stranger”). Barbara Loden’s performance is genuinely harrowing.

Filmed entirely in New York, mostly Staten Island (standing in for rural Kansas) and Westchester.

Oh, Will -- look--they left off the "GR-" on your copy."

Worth a watch, if only for Barbara Loden (who walks away with the picture, and reminds us how limited Natalie Wood was as an actor).

OP, it's been out for years in DVD form.

As R2 said, it was on tv a lot when I was growing up. Most likely The 4:30 Movie (ABC NY) which preceded the talk shows that eventually took over its timeslot. I thought the film was a tad racy and truth be told, every scene Pat Hingle was in, I spent trying to see if they would show his hand with the amputated pinkie.

The only thing I’ve ever seen Barbara Loren in is “Wanda” which she also directed. It’s pretty good. I’d like to see her in this, a more Hollywood-style role, to compare and contrast.

So...much...angst.

Loved Zohra Lampert, shy and beautiful with the chickens in the kitchen.

I like that she looked like a less delicate Natalie, r8.

The kids in the film seem like they're from the 50s and the 60s Though set in 1928 all the kids seem to have cars. How many people even had cars back then?
