| | Depression Era Movie | ronniecal 06/01/2012 | | Great tornado scene (love those). representative in a number of ways of the hard times of the 30's. a little bit of cheatin' husband. Simple woman, with the help of a black cotton picker, beats the system. Great cast. You will use "pause" if you have to leave the room, because without chain saws, car chases, or profanity, it will merit your interest so you'll not want to miss anything. |
