Title:	The Bridge of San Luis Rey (2004)

Summary:	Plot Summary: Five people are killed in a freak accident when a lofty rope bridge collapses. The film details a priest's. Camila Villegas (La Perichola) John Lynch . Captain Alvarado Dominique Pinon . His Excellency's Fop Mark Polish . Clara Pepita Uncle Pio Dona Clara's Husband Camila Villegas (La Perichola) Captain Alvarado His Excellency's Fop Manuel Esteban The King of Spain - more. None of the reviewers at this site or elsewhere have noted that there are four, not three, filmed versions of this unique and haunting novel. The fourth appeared on American television between October,l957,and January,l958. It was probably a Hallmark production ,obviously has never replayed,and is not listed in this data base. This is all the more disconcerting as it is the only dramatized version(The silent version is unobtainable and exists in only one known copy)which in any way remained faithful to the spirit and much of the text of the original. Wilder's book calls to be read aloud and the three leading actresses in this particular production did everything possible with the essential sound values. The key role of the Marquesa was taken by Judith Anderson(of "Medea" and "Hamlet" fame) and she literally almost breached the saving boundary between make believe and reality. Unlike the recent version there is nothing funny about this woman. Her daughter certainly does not visit her in Latin America. Like King Lear ,she has been exiled from Spain at her daughter's request. And not without good reason. The Marquesa is a terrifying and vicious old drunk who is positively guaranteed to disrupt any social occasion which she attends. On the other hand,in exile,and smashing bottles in the audience's collective face,she,the most terrifying of mothers,writes epistles on her genuinely frustrated love which will go down in the history of Spanish literature. It seems both women now,for the only time in their lives,will have something to live for. But that entails first crossing the Bridge of San Luis Rey. . . . read all
