Desire Under the Elms (1958)
Director: Delbert Mann
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Surprisingly faithful to the play, but still a leaden travesty. Director and cast (Loren especially) are hopelessly at sea with Eugene O'Neill's tragedy of familial lust (for land as much as for the body), which is a loose transposition to 19th century New England of Euripides' Hippolytus.Author: TM
