Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHorton Foote, at first, would not allow another film version of his play, because he didn't want anybody to play Carrie except Lillian Gish. He later agreed, but only if either Geraldine Page or Kim Stanley played Carrie.
- GoofsThe statement about the location NOT looking like the Montrose neighborhood of Houston is NOT accurate. People who have lived in Houston know the Montrose neighborhood, among others, has houses built on man-made banks to protect property from floods. Although the scene was filmed in the Dallas area, the street and the houses on banks look exactly like Montrose. All of Houston is NOT flat.
- Quotes
Mrs. Carrie Watts: I guess when you've lived longer than your house and your family, then you've lived long enough.

Featured review
A Great Loss
All I can say is Ms Page is my favorite.We all miss her.I have watched this movie dozens of times and am struck by what an outstanding performance she gives us in this picture.
Yes I do indeed cry everytime I watch this film and think it will always touch me whenever I see it.I have my copy of it but it is becoming rather used so I intend on purchasing another.
I don't think the world will ever see the likes of another Geraldine Page,at least not in my life time.What a great loss.
