The Runaway (2000)



Hallmark drama
-Year: 2000
-Year in film: 1949
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Luke ~13, Sonny ~15 ?, men
-Available on DVD: yes *
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium *
-Rating:  8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Cody Newton (first pic) and Duane McLaughlin in blue bibs. Obviously more than medium amount of scenes. Also men in bibs.

Thanks very, very much for this suggestion! I will buy this DVD. Unfortunately the 2002 DVD is OOP and region 1 only and quite rare (and unavailable in Europe) There's also a VHS. I think Hallmark  makes the best 30s and 40s bib movies and this one should be one of the best. See also "The Valley of Light" (rating 7), of course "A Painted House" (rating 8) and others. Maybe I don't have the word Hallmark on every Hallmark movie entry here and I have to check more of the Hallmark Hall of Fame series.

At the beginning there is only the black teen boy in bibs (also getting wet by falling into a lake). Newton was wearing regular jeans there. Later at about 15 minutes he first appeard in bibs (1st pic). Perfect view from behind. Sadly I couldn't watch more than the first 20 minutes.

The plot is about racism in 1940s Georgia and a murder case, novel by Terry Kay. Also starring Dean Cain, Roxanne Hart and Pat Hingle. I can't say much more yet and hope to see it completely asap. Maybe the novel is also worth reading.

Rating 8, maybe even higher. No clips to embed.

Update: Now completely seen. Only 3 rather short bibs scenes of the younger boy (at 15, 24 and 1h03). Also his older brother ~20 yo in light blue bibs (pic see info 186, also showing another sitting scene of Newton in regular jeans). This movie also made me creating the tags sitting. Good movie but the best scene is at 15 minutes, Cody Newton walking (front and perfect back view).
