THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND Movie Poster & Trailer
Check out the trailer and poster for THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn, Mamie Gummer, Ann-Margret, Jessica Collins, and directed by Jodie Markell.
The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond Synopsis: Widely considered the most important American playwright of the post-WWII, era, Williams wrote the TEARDROP DIAMOND screenplay at the height of his late-1950’s heyday, amid such classic plays, (which themselves were adapted into classic films), as “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “Suddenly, Last Summer,” “Sweet Bird of Youth,” and “Orpheus Descending.” Set in the Roaring Twenties in Williams’ (and Markell’s) home town of Memphis, the film tells the story of Fisher Willow (Howard) a headstrong young heiress who chafes under the constraints of proper Southern society, and who rebels by asking the impoverished but handsome son of her father’s caretaker, Jimmy Dobyne (Evans), to escort her to the major social events of the season. The relationship is purely a business arrangement at the outset, with Fisher paying for Jimmy’s time and attention, but when she discovers that she really loves him, she finds it impossible to re-write the rules and earn the affection she tried to buy.
The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond will be released to theaters on December 30, 2009. Watch the trailer and check out the full poster below. Unfortunately the sound is a little off on the trailer, so hopefully we’ll get a better version soon.
[We were asked to remove the trailer but should have a new, updated one for you soon]
