    How can the man who directed such a gem as the Grapes of Wrath shoot something like that? The directing is uninspired and several actors are dreadful. The story barely makes sense, what is going to happen is painfully obvious and the whole thing is that close from plain anti-rura...( read more)l racism. I walked out of the theater after 30 minutes of torture.

    A quite enchanting and often funny film about a family of dirt farmers in Georgia during the great depression. OK, so fundamentally we are presented with a group of stereotypical hillbillies and the film comes across as farcical during some sections, but amazingly there are sever...( read more)al effective moments of pathos amongst them. Can't compare it to the novel or stage play, neither of which I have much knowledge of, but my understanding is that both contain a lot more satire than the movie; however, the film is fine as it is: a light hearted entertainment and a very enjoyable way to spend an hour and twenty.

    A wiity adaptation from a bitter classic by Erskine Caldwell! Let's confess that it's not as erotic as the book, but much more passionate!
