Director Elia Kazan encouraged Pulitzer Prize winner William Inge (Bus Stop, Picnic) to turn a true story he heard during his Midwest youth into an Academy Award-winning script.The result, Splendor In The Grass, remains as poetic, penetrating and powerful today as it was two generations ago.               Critic's Reviews Christopher Null FilmCritic.com Read Review
