Girl From Tobacco Road - 1966 - 6/10
The chain gang guard turns his back, next thing his head is whacked and the men scatter.
“Snake” arrives in a rural Tennessee backwater and is befriended by a widowed pastor with children.
Eager young boy and two older sisters, one frisky, the other reserved.
Add a courting sheriff, add three city hoods, add a missing stash of bank loot.
More? Friends, the Tobacco Festival is underway, glorious celebration to burley and nicotine.
Square dancing, bluegrass, rockabilly, old timey country, an unbelievable harmonica number.
Eerie thing, this is a remarkable time capsule of a time and place where I grew up.
Nicolas Winding Refn has restored the surviving elements as best as possible.
