HOME FROM THE HILL opens. Directed by Vincente Minnelli. Written by Harriet Frank Jr. and Iring Ravetch, from the novel by William Humphrey, Robert Mitchum purposively straddles a simmering, high-end, late 50s-set melodrama as a philandering Texas land baron whose swaggering patriarchal machismo sets him on a collision course with his estranged wife and sons. With George Peppart, George Hamilton and Eleanor Parker.
