Saturday, December 17 - Kiss Her Goodbye

Kiss Her Goodbye (1959)

An attractive young couple's car is broken down on the side of the road on a hot afternoon in rural Florida. The young man refuses help from the local police who stops to help but then asks a young farmer looking on nearby to take them into town. The farmer agrees to do this attracted by the girl.

Suffering from what is now known as arrested development, the girl has a six-year-old mind in a 19 year old body and that brings trouble from the men drooling over her in this Florida wasteland. Stritch is a young widow with a baby, perhaps too big-hearted for her own good, and even though she knows about Farrell's situation, hires her simply because of her feelings for Farrell's brother, Hill. Of course when Farrell becomes too close with one of the local young man, violence ensues because of her child like nature, bringing heartache for everybody.
