The Sky Is Gray

Year in film: 1940s
Country: USA
Who in bibs: James ~13, Ty ~10, boy, man
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Clothing occurrence: medium+
Rating:  3/10
Rating: ***
Comment: 2 black boys, probably James Bond III ("The Red Hand Gang" ) and Chez Lister ("LHOTP") in bibs and their dad. Also another boy sitting in light blue bibs and a jacket in the waiting room at a dentist (brief scene). James also there in a red sweater and dark bibs over it. Standing and sitting, both hands in pockets even when sitting.

The younger brother also shown putting on bibs or at least fastening the straps. His bibs are tighter. The older boy also shown standing in a dried corn field but not working.

Another sharecropper find. Rather few good scenes. Starring Olivia Cole and Henry Fonda. Story by Ernest J. Gaines.

46 minutes. Even available on DVD together with "Almos' a Man (1976)" (rating 2), a similar movie, also having bibs (no entry yet). Image quality probably quite poor like the YouTube clip.

Rating ~3-4.
