This Property Is Condemned is a 1966 American drama film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Natalie Wood, Robert Redford, Kate Reid, Charles Bronson, Robert Blake and Mary Badham. The screenplay, inspired by the 1946 one-act play of the same name by Tennessee Williams, was written by Francis Ford Coppola, Fred Coe and Edith Sommer. The film was released by Paramount Pictures.
The Depression-era story takes place in the fictional Mississippi town of Dodson. Owen Legate (Redford), a representative of the railroad that provides much of the economic base for the town, comes to Dodson on an unpopular errand. Wood plays Alva Starr, a pretty flirt who finds herself stuck in the small town and is attracted to the handsome stranger.
For her performance, Wood received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. However, the film received mixed reviews.
The film is noted for its song "Wish Me a Rainbow", written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, which is heard at the beginning and the ending of the film. Ed Ames, Astrud Gilberto and Lawrence Welk have all recorded cover versions.
