    This had to be one of the worse movies ive seen in a long time. It was literaly painful to set through. Tha script was obviously shelved for a reason. Also, I hate to trash the girl but Bryce is one of the worse actresses out there. I use to follow her career but shes proven over and over, she has nothing. Shame to because she seems like a sweet girl...but then again...remember her dad

    The story is a sketchy, dramatically muddled rumination on familiar Williams themes about the Old South and its brave, beautiful, rebellion women always on the brink of love, suicide or madness.

    The fragrant aroma of magnolias is undercut by the distinct smell of mothballs throughoutThe Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, an admirably earnest but curiously flat attempt to film a long-unproduced scenario by Tennessee Williams.

    If Markell's instincts for script exhumation are questionable, she's the victim of even worse timing: Who thought releasing her film 10 days after Liv Ullmann and Cate Blanchett's praised-to-the-high-heavens "A Streetcar Named Desire" closed was a good idea?
