good film, gets dark
12 June 2021
While her friends are marrying the local boys, Claudelle is determined to find just the right guy. And she thinks that she has. He's got a plan, and is working on it. But... as usual, life happens and upsets all her plans. So she comes up with Plan B and turns into a wild child. And now all the men in town are chasing after her. Co-stars Claud Akins, Chad Everett, Will Hutchins; Hutchins made Clambake with Elvis. Diane McBain would make Spinout with Elvis a couple years after this. Pain. Family relationships. Dreams. What makes one happy? When do you know you've realized your goals? Similar to a tennessee williams story. Based on the novel by Erskine Caldwell. He had also written God's Little Acre and Tobacco Road. Books about growing up in rough times and rough places. It's quite good,but ends on a pretty dark note.
