This charming lady from Tennessee, whom you might remember from “Law&Order” has chosen a literary masterpiece by Tennessee Williams, as her starting point, and secured that her debut movie will be packed with emotions, passion, betrayal and drama.
This is a moving drama, with a lot of ups and downs, and many emotions implemented in the plot and in every character. “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” tells a story about capricious, and rebellious young socialite named Fisher Willow (portrayed by excellent Bryce Dallas Howard; the daughter of Ron Howard) who studies abroad, lives a rich and laidback life and spends her time on balls and posh cocktails. One day, after a family fight, she decides to go to the biggest social event of the year with young Jimmy Dobyne, who is a poor worker on her parent’s plantation.
As you might guess, they start liking each other and capricious Fisher starts falling in love, and decides to fight with all social norms and prejudices, to save her love. But, there is always trouble in Paradise! Once the priceless teardrop diamond is lost (by accident) accusation, fight and betrayal become a priority and this loves starts crashing down.
