B/w drama by Jean Renoir about a poor farm family (PD)
-Year: 1945
-Year in film: 1940s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl Daisy ~7ys, men
-Available on DVD: yes  
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low?
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Jean Vanderwilt in light bibs (pictured). I found this film by searching for keyword sharecropper at ImdB, there 7th best film. Film is in Public Domain and can be viewed (streaming or download) at archive.org and other sites. Also released on DVD. There is also a publicity still with a younger boy in dark bibs, but this is a short scene and not very close (minute 51). I don't know the entire film, but I don't expect much good bib scenes or other actors in bibs. Nominated for 3 Oscars. Streaming quality is not very good, but I saw better images, so DVD will be better. Even though I like farm films and historic films, I don't like this bibs or film.
