tobaccoroadtobaccoroad2

Drama John Ford
Year: 1941
Year in film: 1941
Country: USA
Who in bibs: Dude ~23 ?
Available on DVD: yes ?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: medium+ ?
Rating:  3/10 ?
Rating: ***
Comment: Some Hillbilly men in faded bibs including William Tracy as son. 16 yo in the 1932 novel by Erskine Caldwell but much older in the movie. Also sitting and unusal positions.

Still searching for the Charley Chase movie "One of the Smiths", I found this one via torontofilmsociety.com.

Actors are too old, so rating ~2-3 only.

More of interest probably the novel and the (different) stage plays.

Very interesting the musical "That Long Tobacco Road" by Charley-John Smith with younger boys (2017 version). Probably unrelated.
