Like nobody else, Kazan succeeded in capturing the overheated, self-pitying dramatization so near and dear to the teenage heart.

An excellent critique of a specific historical moment in US history and reveals the flaws that were present in its belief system.

The authority and eloquence of the theme emerge in the honest, sensitive acting of Mr. Beatty and Miss Wood.

New York Times
Rating: B --
With his ripe lips, flirty eyes, and pre-Calvin Klein-era androgynous appeal, the 24-year-old Warren is utterly believable as a boy who drives Natalie Wood plumb insane with sexual frustration in William Inge's overheated melodrama.

If Splendor in the Grass is the truth, simple or complex, about men and women, then I've been living in a fool's paradise for fifty-five years.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Set in rural Kansas, Splendor in the Grass tells the tragically romantic tale of teenagers Deanie (Natalie Wood) and Bud (Warren Beatty) who repress their desires because of their families' disapproval. Coming from radically different backgrounds -- one wealthy, the other staunchly puritanical -- they allow class differences to prevent any possible union. Their passions exist purely in their hearts and minds, but the couple never physically or socially express this forbidden love. Later in life, Deanie is institutionalized following a breakdown, and she eventually returns home to resolve her feelings about Bud.
