Audience Member I loved this movie!! Anything having to do with Alabama history and has a wonderful plot deserves applause! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pretty good film, the time frame is 1965 in Alabama. About a young girl who runs away from home to see the ocean. Being abused by her Mother's future husband, a non understanding Mom, and a loving grandfather are just some of the problems this young girl faces, so she leaves and leaves by boat going down river, she runs into Trappers, a Panther, and a Tug Boat Captain that saves her life. Lots of B acting and direct reading from cue cards over simple lines, but still a good movie. Could have left the racism out of the movie and the movie would have still been as enjoyable. But Still have to give the story line 3 1/2 stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member its an okish movie its kinda sad in some parts Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is so awful. I wouldn't have even heard anything of it if my brother hadn't been watching it the whole time I wrote the Pussycat review. This movie is so cheesy and bad, I found myself laughing inexplicably at racism. I mean, honestly, there is a scene where a white girl covers herself in mud ti make herself look black. For what reason I still don't know. She said she was going to help get someone out of jail, than she does that crap, and the guy just laughs in her face. Fuck this movie, seriously.
