Mitch Wayne is a geologist working for the Hadleys, an oil-rich Texas family. While the patriarch, Jasper, works hard to establish the family business, his irresponsible son, Kyle, is an alcoholic playboy, and his daughter, Marylee, is the town tramp.

Viewing Notes

Headed down to the Portage Theater for the introductory film of the Northwest Chicago Film Society new season at its new location. Stoked that it was Written on the Wind (1956), featuring an amazing Robert Stack against Rock Hudson. Terrific film! Thrilled to see this on the big screen!

I believe this is the second movie I viewed presented by NWCFS.
