Rambling Rose is the most part a flashback, related by grown-up Southerner Buddy Hillyer (
John Heard). The bulk of the film takes place in 1935, when rambunctious backwoods housekeeper Rose (
Laura Dern) virtually invades the Hillyer household. Daddy Hillyer (
Robert Duvall), a bed-rock Southern gentleman, welcomes the congenitally amoral but basically goodhearted Rose into his house, carefully fending off her ill-timed romantic advances. But Rose can't help feeling smitten with him; meanwhile, she has also drawn the attentions of 13-year-old Buddy (
Lukas Haas). Based on the novel by screenwriter
Calder Willingham,
Rambling Rose was not the box-office breakthrough that many expected for director
Martha Coolidge; though it fizzled financially, the film did manage to secure Oscar nominations for both
Dern and her real-life mother
Diane Ladd.
