      walter m In "Paydirt," Eric(Eric Silverstein) and Nancy(Lola Desmond) own a struggling vineyard in Oregon. To make ends meet, they grow a little marijuana on the side, away from the main business and on the sly. And they are not the only ones to do so in this valley. However, this cash crop is drawing the wrong kind of attention, as there has been a rash of robberies recently. "Paydirt" is an engaging and timeless movie. It starts with Nancy recounting her memorable family history, before starting the main story in the present day of the 1980's when Nancy Reagan was telling everybody to just say no. And in the present day of 2015 when marijuana use is now legal in Oregon, I'm commenting on a movie that one person in the Q & A referred to as a western with people under siege from outlaws and defending their turf. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
