Introduction: Adaptations of Faulkner. The Reivers(6)
Considered by most critics as one of the best Faulkner film adaptations, The Reivers (1969) was shot on location in Carrollton and Greenwood, Mississippi. Coincidentally two actors in the film were veterans of the film adaptation of Intruder in the Dust (1949), Will Greer and Juano Hernandez. The screenplay for the film also featured Faulkner screenwriter veterans, Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank who had previously worked on The Long, Hot Summer (1958) and The Sound and the Fury (1959).
On display are promotional items relating to the film including a Japanese pressbook and original photographs of the filming in Mississippi.   [go to page 7 >>]
