Reflections in a Golden Eye

A psychological drama set at a US Army post in Georgia during the 1940s, "Reflections in a Golden Eye" weaves together themes of repressed sexuality, mental illness, voyeurism, and murder among its central characters: Major Weldon Pendleton and his unhappily married wife Leonora, Lieutenant Colonel Morris Langdon and his wife Alison; and Private L.
