Review of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (2008) by Dan P — 18 Oct 2017

A Southern Classic.

Maybe it?s because this takes place in the South that I like it so well, but I thought Bryce Howard played a remarkable (although obnoxious) rich debutant trying to chase a man with a high society blood line that had fallen from societies ladder, but a true gentleman played by Chris Evans. While Evans was subdued, Howard was anything but, and was sadly searching for Love she thought could be bought. The costumes, scenery, lighting were fantastic to watch with each scene and it took me back into time into a geographical area I am very familiar with. I was reluctant to watch it because I?m not always in the mood for a Tennessee Williams Screenplay, but this one lifted me out of a bad day and introduced me to an actress with a lot of talent, despite being the daughter of a famous successful actor/director (her father is Ron Howard) that critics/society probably haven?t given her the credit she deserves. But she has a successful marriage with two children and still looks extremely beautiful. May she live a life of happiness and success unlike many of the children you read about of successful Hollywood stars, ruined by the success of their parents. How refreshing!!
