Plot: Set in antebellum New Orleans during the early 1850's, this film follows Julie Marsden through her quest for social redemption on her own terms. Julie is a beautiful and free spirited, rapacious Southern belle who is sure of herself and controlling of her fiancé Preston Dillard, a successful young banker. Julie's sensitive but domineering personality--she does not want so much to hurt as to assert her independence--forces a wedge between Preston and herself. To win him back, she plays North against South amid a deadly epidemic of yellow fever which claims a surprising victim.

Quotes:

Julie Marsden: This is 1852 dumplin', 1852, not the Dark Ages. Girls don't have to simper around in white just because they're not married.

Aunt Belle: Pres has always loved you in white... If he isn't simply bowled over by it, I won't know what to think.::Julie: [speaking to an assistant who carries off a red dress] Wait a minute. Bring that over here. Saucy, isn't it?::Aunt Belle: And vulgar.::Julie: Yes, isn't it? Come on, get me out of this.::Aunt Belle: Julie, what are you doing?::Julie: If it fits me, I'm gonna wear it to the Olympus Ball.::Aunt Belle: A red dress to the Olympus Ball? Why, you're out of your senses.::Julie: ...Mary Vickers couldn't possibly do it justice.::Aunt Belle: Child, you're out of your mind. You know you can't wear red to the Olympus Ball.::Julie: Can't I? I'm goin' to. This is 1852, dumplin,' 1852. Not the Dark Ages. Girls don't have to simp around in white just because they're not married.::Aunt Belle: In New Orleans they do. Julie, you'd insult every woman on the floor.::Mme. Poulard: Mademoiselle, your aunt - she's right. Look how beautiful this dress is.::Julie: Will you kindly get me out of this?::Aunt Belle: Julie, you can't be serious.::Julie: Never more serious in my life.::Aunt Belle: But Julie, think of Pres.::Julie: That's just exactly what I am thinkin' of.

Julie: Amy, of course it's your right to go. You're his wife. But are you fit to go? Lovin' him isn't enough. If you gave him all your strength, would it be enough?::Amy Bradford Dillard: I'll make him live or die with him.::Julie: Amy, Amy, do you know the Creole word for fever powder, for food and water? How to talk to a sullen, overworked black boy and make him fear you and help you? Pres's life and yours will hang on things just like that, and you'll both surely die.::Amy Bradford Dillard: Then it will have to be that way.::Julie: It's not a question of provin' your love by layin' down your life for Pres. Nothin' so easy. Have you the knowledge and the human strength to fight for his life and for your own as one will have to fight? Amy, it's no longer you or me.::Amy Bradford Dillard: What do you mean?::Julie: I'll make him live, I will. Whatever you might do, I can do more, 'cause I know how to fight better than you. Amy, if you knew the horror of that place. It isn't a hospital. It's a desolate island haunted by death. They'll put Pres in an open shed with a hundred others. You must be there with him day and night, watchin' every breath he draws. You must bathe him, keep him clean, give him drugs, fight for his food and water. You must keep the livin' from him and the dead. Be there by him with your body between him and Death.

I forgot, I'm a child. I'm not supposed to know about things like Gallatan street! I'm just supposed to flutter around in white!::Preston Dillard: You're supposed to know better than to scandalize the whole town!::Julie Marsden: [Looks unhappily at him] It might be bad for the bank of course! Will you please hold another directors meeting and ask 'em to decide what I can wear?::Preston Dillard: Julie for heavens sake! Will you be reasonable?::Julie Marsden: [Snaps back sadly] Where you reasonable this afternoon?::Preston Dillard: So that's It... Your just nursing a spite, well I'm not gonna let you!

But of course Preston. If you say so.::Preston Dillard: Don't be absurd! Your own good sense will say so!::Julie Marsden: And it doesn't?::Preston Dillard: Then my sweet we will stay at home quietly with our embroidery. [He kisses Julie] Goodnight. Tomorrow night at 10.

Aunt Belle: Expecting a man to go to a dress makers with you! I declare i hope Pres doesn't come!::Julie: He will::Aunt Belle: But Julene!::Julie: Now dumplin' don't you fret about Pres I've been training him for years!::Aunt Belle: Like that man-killing horse you bought!::Julie: Pres was outrageous! He had no right to tell me what i could ride and what i couldnt!::Aunt Belle: The horse showed you what you couldn't! You broke your collar bone and your engagement!::Julie: And they both mended so i was right after all [Smiles at Aunt Belle happily]

Nice and cool...::Preston Dillard: [Looks at Buck and snaps] Do you find it cool in here? I don't find it particularly cool. Do you Julie?::Julie Marsden: [Looks up at Pres] Why... Why no::Preston Dillard: [Steps towards Buck] I don't find it particularly cool. Miss Julie dosen't find it so.::Buck Cantrell: [stares at Pres] Why no. Now that you speak of it... It's just about right...::Preston Dillard: Seems so to me.::Buck Cantrell: [Glares at Pres] Your servant. Yours miss Julie. [Bows at Julie]

Julie: Why did you do it Prest?::Preston Dillard: Because I love her.::Julie: But you had my love.::Preston Dillard: And lost it.

Julie Marsden: Shall I cry for you? Nobody ever made me cry but you... And that was only twice!

Julie: Why did you do it? Why Pres?::Preston Dillard: Because I love her::Julie: But you had my love!::Preston Dillard: And lost it.::Julie: Wasn't that memory more real than anything she had to give to you? [Preston walks away] Don't be cross with me, Pres. Just tell me. You must!::Preston Dillard: Please don't, Julie!::Julie: Sha'll I cry for you? Nobody ever made me cry but you... And that was only twice! Do you remember?::Preston Dillard: Yes::Julie: How much do you remember?::Preston Dillard: Everything you ever said or did. But thats the past now. Done. Finished.::Julie: I 'ought to have came to you. I wanted to so terribly... I't was because I wanted to so much that i couldn't. You do understand that don't you Pres?::Preston Dillard: I didn't understand. I just knew what you did.::Julie: But you had to come back home didn't you? You had to come back to the country and the things you know... Because you belong here! Nothing can change that. Listen... Can you hear them? The night noises? The Mocking bird in the magnolia. See the moss hanging from the moonlight. You can fairly taste the night can't you? You're part of it Pres and it's part of you. Like I am. You cant get away from us Pres, we're both in your blood. This is the country you were born to, the country you know and trust. Your country Pres! Amy wouldn't understand. She'd think there'd be snakes...::Preston Dillard: Julie please!::Julie: It isn't tame not like the North. It's quick and dangerous, but you trust it!
