What happens
Reflections in a Golden Eye is a 1967 American psychological drama film, directed by John Huston and based on the 1941 novel of the same name by Carson McCullers. The film stars Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando as unhappily married couple Leonora and Weldon Pendleton on a US Army base in Georgia during the 1940s. Brian Keith, Julie Harris, Robert Forster, and Zorro David were featured in major supporting roles. The film deals with elements of repressed sexuality—both homosexual and heterosexual—as well as mental illness, voyeurism, and murder. Reflections in a Golden Eye was released by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts on October 13, 1967. The film received mixed reviews, with much publicity going toward the film's aggressively mature themes and content for the era. The film is often cited as an example of the weakening of the Hays Code due to its approval. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
