There’s production purgatory and then there is this. A script written 50 years ago by renowned playwright and screenwriter Tennessee Williams (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) just now making its way to the silver screen. The film is THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND, once proposed to be the third collaboration between Williams and director Elia Kazan (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, BABY DOLL). Fast forward some decades later, the film is now being directed by actress turned director Jodie Markell and stars Bryce Dallas Howard (who took over for Lindsay Lohan), Chris Evans, Will Patton, and Ann-Margret.

THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND tells the tale of “young and rebellious socialite Fisher Willow, tainted by a family scandal, boldly hires farm hand Jimmy Dobyne to be her escort for the elaborate party season. As her passion for Jimmy grows, Fisher defies social convention and the burden of history to risk everything for a chance at real love…until the loss of a priceless diamond sets off a series of accusations and betrayals that threaten to shatter their hopes for the future.” (IMDb)
