75 Degrees in July Directed by Hyatt Bass, 2000

The film is set against the sweltering beauty of the Texas countryside, at a family ranch estate of a well-to-do family. The return of Letty, a successful artist living in New York, upsets the facade of balance in her family. Letty (Karen Silas), a strong-willed, free spirited woman, had long before left her sister behind, ignoring her parents’ expectations. Sister Kay (Heidi Swedberg) stayed behind, married the ranch foreman and gave up her dream of becoming a singer. With her marriage on the rocks, it is only a matter of time before her jealousy and unhappiness brings the family to a boil, exposing secrets that cross generations and leave no one unaffected.
