I must say...I really like this scene; Jean Simmons and Inga Swenson are both very fine actreses. You can see the comraderie between the two mothers, somewhat similar to that of Orry and George.

I agree totally. You could see how they struggled with what the war did to their families and their closeness.

Terri Gaber played the part of Ashton SO WELL!!

I mean, ALL the mannerisms, facial expressions and voice intonations were PERFECT!

I'm surprised she didn't really become as successful as some of the other actors.

There's something more to this scene then what meets the eye. I mean they have Virgilia on the baloney looking down at the whole scene looking slightly disgusted and at the end they merely show her at a distance as they ride away, still staring at them. What is she plotting?

Ashton is such a bitch...haha she plays the part pefect!

@brocktown Hate to tell ya bub, but I DO know something about socialist / marxist BS...and the Assclown in Chief from Chicago IS one !

[brocktown]

@ariamne97 dont agree with me. What you said is pure shit and I dont agree with any of it. Fuck you and your "American forefathers" bullshit. You dont know anything about marxism or communism and your ignorant remark shows this.

@brocktown - I agree--starting with the Chicago thug in the White House that was elected, fairly yes, to be President. He appoints admitted marxists and communists and both his and his appointees views are antithetical to American interests. That is, the America our forfathers and founders had in mind. His greed for power will bring this country down.

She is absolutely beautiful! But,what a slut!

The scene, and Virgilia, is suggestive of a building undercurrent of outrage and disgust growing in the United States as a result of what was going on in the South. An undercurrent lying in wait for the proper moment to strike. The United States need such an undercurrent to build again to address the evil greed that is currently pervading the country and destroying it.

Well she hears that Orry invites her family to visit him at his plantation in the south, and I guess that this is the moment when she has the idea to acompany them - what her brother first refuses, but then agrees after she promises not to provoke anyone. that is the visit when she meets the slave whom she helps to run off and whom she later marries. I suppose that at this moment here she is "plotting" something like that, to free someone during her visit
