 Redford & Wood are tragically beautiful October 3, 2008
A must see for any Natalie Wood fan. A truly moving piece about love, but more about manipulation, desperation, and those who escape their realities looking for something better. Robert Redford is handsome yet unforgiving, and the supporting characters act out their grunginess for railroad town. It wrenches at your heart and the song "Wish me a Rainbow" will haunt your memory of the film.
 A feel good movie August 27, 2008
I saw this movie years ago and it was one of those Wow!! What a great movie! Of course I had a big crush on Robert Redford at the time and had to see everything he was in. I have started to collect movies and old TV shows that had a special meaning for me so that I can share them with my daughters and hope they get a feel good feeling too.

I originally saw This Property Is Condemned while in Los Angeles as boy in the late sixties when it premiered on network television. Since then I've seen it about 2,000 more times and it gets better with each viewing. It inspired me to move to Mississippi, to frequently haunt New Orelans, and to marry a gal that resembled Alva. As far as I'm concerned this movie makes Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, and Gone With the Wind all look like Plan 9 from Outer Space. Hollywood never produced a better movie nor ever will. Moreover, there has not been a leading lady to ever rival the late Natalie Wood and the chemistry between her and Redford make for the end of on-sceen romances. After seeing the two of them in this movie, all else is third-rate acting and smut. I own this movie on DVD, Laserdisc, and have the vinyl record album. A word of warning: if you buy this movie you may never enjoy any other. God Bless you Natalie, Sydney, and John.

Sorry to disagree with the majority of the commenters. Maybe it's just that I don't like plays turned movies.
One thing is for sure: almost everybody in this movie does act like they are on stage. More or less only Redford acts like a real person for practically the whole movie. Only his reaction to the eavesdropping of Alva's mom that they would all be happy to move to Memphis, that is when he is storming into the bathroom while Alva is showering, is overstated and non-believable. In his final scene he also reacts more vehemently to the news that Alva had married JJ (sorry, spoiler) than what I would have expected of his character. Wood of course tries to own every scene she is in and overplays constantly. I guess I have to check my pulse because I was not attracted to her (reference to other reviewer :-)). Aweful and mismatched is the music, especially annoying in the close to final runaway scene of Alva, along a background of an uplifting and uptempo song.
This ain't a keeper ...

Great movie with Robert Redford and Natalie Wood. This is my favorite Natalie Wood movie. I had to have it for my collection.
