–Comment: At least 12 or 13 yo Ike Eisenmann (pic 1 on the left) and Rex Corley ("Where the Red Fern Grows" 1974) as older brother) in beige/brownish appearing bibs. Also a man in dark bibs. Starring Eric Shea as main character, city boy Joey on vacation, the other boy pictured. Interesting jacket. No credits on IMDb.

Set in the swamps of Virginia. Not sure about the time setting. Could be 1930s, the blue jeans however more look like the 1970s. There's also a wounded dog and a black man (Moses Gunn) appearing (living in the swamp ?). Directed by Robert Day.

I don't know the complete movie, I think it's not on DVD. 2 brief clips uploaded on YouTube by Iake Eissinmann, claiming to be the actor.

Rating at least 4-5 for now.

Update. 2 more pics. Now rating 7-(8) instead of 4. More scenes than assumed and great scenes
