Here’s a review that was published when the film premiered in 1968:Ī 1968 review of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (film)įrom the review by Frank Daley in the Ottawa Journal, October 4, 1968: The film stars Alan Arkin and Sondra Locke, based on the novel by Carson McCullers. Still, the film fails to capture the sweep and emotional impact of the book, so I’d recommend reading it before considering the film. The film received numerous other nominations and awards, and was generally favorably reviewed. Strong performances, especially by Alan Arkin as Singer and Sondra Locke as Mick (her film debut) earned them both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations - for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. Though it had its merits, the film got mixed reviews. The 1968 film version of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, based on the 1940 novel by Carson McCullers, aimed for a faithful adaption.
