Review of Tobacco Road (1941) by Martin T — 20 Aug 2010

Aside from the unmitigated hotness of an underused Gene Tierney, this is just a waste. Too overtly comedic to succeed dramatically, and then in turn, the comedy is so shrill and idiotic that it's not amusing in the slightest.

I hated all of the characters, except those played by future Preminger stalwarts Tierney and Dana Andrews. William Tracy earns the vast majority of my ire, though... shameless.
