About This Property Is Condemned

This Property Is Condemned is a 1966 American drama film starring Natalie Wood, Robert Redford, Kate Reid, Charles Bronson, Skip Bradley and Mary Badham and directed by Sydney Pollack. The screenplay was written by Francis Ford Coppola, Fred Coe and Edith Sommer. The story was adapted from the 1946 one-act play of the same name by Tennessee Williams. The film was released by Paramount Pictures.

The depression-era story takes place in the fictional Mississippi town of Dodson. Owen Legate (Robert Redford), working for the railroad which provides much of the economic base for the town, comes to town on an unpopular errand. Natalie Wood plays Alva Starr, a pretty town flirt who finds herself stuck in this small town and very much attracted to the handsome stranger.

Many (or all) of the scenes of Dodson were actually filmed in the town of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, about 60 miles east of New Orleans.

For her performance, Natalie Wood received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama.
