As ScriptDoctor and a producer at CoyoteMoon Films, I appreciate his devotion to the script, the story.

OK, this is listed as the Widescreen version 1.85:1. Immediately after beginning to watch the movie, it was apparent that this is a bad transfer of the widescreen tape version with the sides cut off.

Well, I am keeping it because it is a great movie and I doubt I am going to do any better anywhere else, but don't advertise it as widescreen when it IS NOT!!!!!

None better for the very tough days of organizing coal miners into unions in West Virginia in the early part of the 20th century. Also outstanding for teaching classes-- at any level, high school or college.

thug to hillbilly: where'd you get that old gun, son - the Spanish-American war?
hillbilly to thug: nope, war 'tween the states. I bought this CD about 15 or 20 years after I saw this movie the theater, but that line has always stuck with me! Lots of other winning lines as well. I'm surprised this film doesn't have a huge following! |
