Editorial Review:
Inspired by Tennessee Williams' play. Brought to life by Hollywood's biggest stars. He's the wrong man to love. How could it all seem so right? Robert Redford and Natalie Wood headline this sexually charged Depression-era drama. Redford (whose next film, Barefoot In The Park), would rocket him to stardom) plays Owen Legate, a railroad official come to backwater Dodson, Mississippi, with a pocketful of pink slips for the yard employees. Wood (at age 28 already a 23-year screen veteran) portrays the town flirt whose affair with Legate ignites her mother's - and the town's - revenge. Repressed desires, sultry women, sweltering weather and a handsome stranger... this is Tennessee Williams territory. And with stars Redford, Wood and co-star Charles Bronson, it's all prime property.
This Property Is Condemned Reviews:
Wonderful acting 
2009-11-13 - Great performances by all especially Natalie Wood and Kate Reid. Young Robert Redford shines in his pre-movie star days. Also features Charles Bronson and Robert Blake. Directed by Sydney Pollack. Worth every penny especially if you are a Tennessee Williams fan.
This Property Is Condemned 
2008-10-10 - This is a great movie - definitely in my top 25 movies of all time.
Redford & Wood are tragically beautiful
2008-10-03 - A must see for any Natalie Wood fan. A truly moving piece about love, but more about manipulation, desperation, and those who escape their realities looking for something better. Robert Redford is handsome yet unforgiving, and the supporting characters act out their grunginess for railroad town. It wrenches at your heart and the song "Wish me a Rainbow" will haunt your memory of the film.
A feel good movie
2008-08-27 - I saw this movie years ago and it was one of those Wow!! What a great movie! Of course I had a big crush on Robert Redford at the time and had to see everything he was in. I have started to collect movies and old TV shows that had a special meaning for me so that I can share them with my daughters and hope they get a feel good feeling too.
The End Of Film
2008-06-24 - I originally saw This Property Is Condemned while in Los Angeles as boy in the late sixties when it premiered on network television. Since then I've seen it about 2,000 more times and it gets better with each viewing. It inspired me to move to Mississippi, to frequently haunt New Orelans, and to marry a gal that resembled Alva. As far as I'm concerned this movie makes Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, and Gone With the Wind all look like Plan 9 from Outer Space. Hollywood never produced a better movie nor ever will. Moreover, there has not been a leading lady to ever rival the late Natalie Wood and the chemistry between her and Redford make for the end of on-sceen romances. After seeing the two of them in this movie, all else is third-rate acting and smut. I own this movie on DVD, Laserdisc, and have the vinyl record album. A word of warning: if you buy this movie you may never enjoy any other. God Bless you Natalie, Sydney, and John.
