Rambling Rose Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Martha Coolidge
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Rambling Rose is the most part a flashback, related by grown-up Southerner Buddy Hillyer (John_Heard). The bulk of the film takes place in 1935, when rambunctious backwoods housekeeper Rose (Laura_Dern) virtually invades the Hillyer household. Daddy Hillyer (Robert_Duvall), a bed-rock Southern gentleman, welcomes the congenitally amoral but basically goodhearted Rose into his house, carefully fending off her ill-timed romantic advances. But Rose can't help feeling smitten with him; meanwhile, she has also drawn the attentions of 13-year-old Buddy (Lukas_Haas). Based on the novel by screenwriter Calder_Willingham, Rambling Rose was not the box-office breakthrough that many expected for director Martha_Coolidge; though it fizzled financially, the film did manage to secure Oscar nominations for both Dern and her real-life mother Diane_Ladd.
