It made me feel like I lived back then!
Being a native of South Carolina, I just truly "lived" in this movie. The actors 'became' the characters and I could feel what it was like during that turbulent time.This is not a "slick" film one way or the other. Gwendolyn Edwards makes you want to bow and offer her your hand for a promenade; Julian Adams makes you realize what true Southern men went through during that time: it was not easy, nor pat, nor automatic. It was a time that was hard on all Southerners.
This film made it natural that you identify with the characters: they were not heroes, supermen, or plastic celebrities. They were real people.
I'll add this to my collection, and that is a rare honor indeed. Movies are so cheap and easily attainable that it's not worth the time and trouble to buy them. But I will definitely buy this one so that I always have it near to hand.
A million thanks to Julian and Weston Adams and to Gwendolyn Edwards. You all made it so real and so natural.
Thank you.
