Meet the dysfunctional Willart family: Berry-Berry, a handsome wastrel not kind to women; Clint, his younger brother; Ralph, father and alcoholic; Annabell, controlling mother. Berry-Berry has moved out of town to escape his parents, returning home for a visit where he meets family friend Echo O'Brien. Both brothers fancy her. One of Warren Beatty's first major roles, but here he is somewhat over his head among more experienced actors. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
