Dragon Country (1970): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1970, Dragon Country is a drama and tv movie film directed by Glenn Jordan, running about 80 minutes.

What it’s about. Producer-director Glenn Jordan brought together two Tennessee Williams plays, written twenty years apart, that examine the theme of isolation with searching clarity. The joint presentation, entitled "Dragon Country," features the world premiere of "I Can't Imagine Tomorrow," starring Kim Stanley and William Redfield, and a much earlier work, "Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen," starring Lois Smith and Alan Mixon. Together, the dramas delve into "a land of endured but unendurable pain, where each one is so absorbed, deafened, blinded by his own journey across it, he sees, he looks for, no one else crawling across it with him."

Who’s in it. Dragon Country stars Kim Stanley as One (segment "I Can't Imagine Tomorrow"), William Redfield as Two (segment "I Can't Imagine Tomorrow"), Lois Smith as Woman (segment "Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen") and Alan Mixon as Man (segment "Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen").

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Dragon Country has proved divisive with audiences.
