Review of Tobacco Road (1941) by Russell G — 10 Feb 2008

How can the man who directed such a gem as the Grapes of Wrath shoot something like that? The directing is uninspired and several actors are dreadful. The story barely makes sense, what is going to happen is painfully obvious and the whole thing is that close from plain anti-rural racism.

I walked out of the theater after 30 minutes of torture.
