Tobacco Road
You will get a few laughs out of this comedy. Corn and Turnups once a mainstay of diets is the theme of this movie. Corny scenes turnup crunchingly so, but the ole Evangelist gal had a voice that would drive the crows away by droves. The choir was magnificent, if you have ruff ears like the silk of a corn cob.

Shiftless Jeeter Lester and his family of hillbilly stereotypes live in a rural backwater where their ancestors were once wealthy planters. Their slapstick existence is threatened by a bank's plans to take over the land for more profitable farming; subplots involve the affairs and marriages of son Dude and daughter Ellie May.

Release date: 7 March 1941

“Tobacco Road

You will get a few laughs out of this comedy. Corn and Turnups once a mainstay of diets is the theme of this movie. Corny scenes turnup crunchingly so, but the ole Evangelist gal had a voice that would drive the crows away by droves. The choir was magnificent, if you have ruff ears like the silk of a corn cob. The ever seductive farmers’ daughter Ela Mae was a site for soar eye’s. If your eye’s aren’t soar from the start they soon will be. Later when Pa tells her to take a bath your eyes do straighten up a bit.
