The book was SCANDALOUS with the sex and violence. It was "banned in Boston" and many other places, which just increased it's appeal. Then they made it into a mild country comedy Broadway show. But people were tricked into watching it, thinking it would be risque, like the book. Read the book, lol, it's well worth the time. Maybe an audio book is available

I think I have a different take on this movie than a lot of people. I was raised in Appalachia so I feel that I can speak from experience . My family was poor but a FAR cry from this. My grandmother was a single parent. She raised her children, fed them and maintained a small but sparkling clean rental home. She worked in a factory during the week and grew her garden, cleaned, canned food and eventually sent one child to college on her meager earnings. Then she was able to ultimately build a small home and pay for it in full with the money she scrimped and saved. She NEVER waited for "THE MAN" to bail her out. She knew she had to do it on her own. The majority of the people I was raised near were also hard working and proud. My opinion of this is that this protagonist in Tobacco Road was lazy. This is not an accurate depiction of the majority of the area. To me, this is still an example of white privilege. He had the acreage, farm equipment and all the time in the world to plow, sow seeds and reap crops. He blamed everyone and everything for his failures except himself. The banker, his children, the weather, everyone but himself.He was a horrible example to his family but still somehow expected his kids to come back and bail him out. He was just an example of the ones who now sit on their behinds waiting on their monthly checks and whining because it isn't bigger. I'm getting off my soapbox. I get fired up when I see these kinds of inaccurate depictions concerning the poor during those hard years.

The main part is still there and runs between Fort Gordon and the Augusta Airport. Tobacco and cotton are gone now, they have been replaced by the evergrowing track house developments. The still existing red dirt and the tall yellow pines are the only reminders of the past, not so idillac life of the past.

My grandmother lived in this area of the country. She was ashamed to talk about it. Her family moved to California in 1907 when she was eight, and the whole family separated from each other in just a few years after coming west. My grand aunts and grandma never got together as a family during my lifetime. I heard a few horrible stories but didn't want to believe it. Those poor women who married into this condition buried their babies. My mother-in-law lived in the Black Smokey Mountains in 1906. As a young mother, she was snowed in many times where she lived during the 1920s. She told me her three year old died, and then she covered up that child with her blankets because the snow was so high that no one could get out or a doctor couldn't get in. She then saw her son, nine months old, get sick, and he died two days later. Again, she covered the next child up in their own blankets while lying on their bed. Then she went into labor, and that baby died a day later, but this time she didn't realize what happened until someone told her months later. I found out she went crazy and it took the family to watch her for a year before she came out of it. This was the strongest woman I ever met, and I married her eleventh child born in 1946. How spoiled rotten can I be when I think I've got problems. Her name was Bessie.

For me, the best scene (and there were many) in this Southern Gothic tale was a quiet one when Jeeter (Charley Grapewin) sits alone on the curb in the town. His silent facial expression is poignant. Gene Tierney -- one of those terrific 40s beauties like Paulette Goddard was stunning even with dirt on her face. I was disappointed in her tinny voice though. Ward Bond not wanting an "old lady of 23" who looked like Tierney is hilarious. Grapewin also played Grandpa Joad in the Grapes of Wrath & Uncle Henry in The Wizard of Oz. He had a good few years in motion pictures. Charley was only 72 when he played Jeeter but looked older. Elizabeth Patterson who played Jeeter's wife is recognizable to baby boomers because she was seen often in the 50s on TV in both The Adventures of Superman & I Love Lucy. The story itself is actually far grittier than what was filmed but it was cleaned up for release. They still filmed it on a closed set. I think it's one of John Ford's best.

@@joyousthunder4411 God bless your heart, for responding so nicely to my comments. My mother...like you...was raised up in Mich. Born in 1922 she lived in a big house in Dearborn Mich, until the late 30's when her mother died young of flu. In those days that area was a nice place, I' am told. She was then sent to a boarding school for girls and was to marry an American Frenchman, who later died in the war. I think he was her one true love....the way she spoke of him. I still have his picture she had of him...in his uniform. His name was Gaspar....spelling may not be right. Anyways...I'm here serving the Lord as a co - pastor of a small church. I have produced many bible films here...all word for word from the bible. If you search under my stage name, "Thommy Sides" on this site....you can find them. The latest is, "Revelation In A Nutshell". My wife use to be in the music industry here as an artist agent, and so with her help...I was able to also put together over the period of seven long years....an album with 18 tracks on it. I would have put more, but there was no more data room on the cd...lol. It was a long hard labor of love to be sure and many South Africans, both black and white....helped me on this project. Many....for free or at vastly reduced cost, as they owned my wife favors...for seed she had sowed over the long years. I only wish that this album had touched more lives by now, but God gave me this album. It's His....and so, I leave it in his hands. Some time ago we put the album here on KZitem, so anyone can enjoy it for free. The album is all original music and lyrics. I wrote all the songs and melodies, but South African talent put it all together. The album is called, "Stranded No More", and in Christ....that is truly what we are!!! Here is the link.

@@Brianbeesandbikes They were a Mixed Marriage from Hillbilly Hell going to a White Pentecostal Church (a big one in Austin) who pretty much ignored them, but allowed them around. The REASON it Scares me is how unEducated most of the people were among them DESIRE ABOVE ALL that they have guidance because they were LOST SHEEP. The Church, the Lack of an Education, the Entitlement of Holy Re-Birth without any such Proof in rising above their own sorry state approved by the 400 years of an IRON BOND between Church and State were EXTREMELY EVIDENT. This MOVIE CELEBRATES IGNORANCE and makes it seem almost FUN to become. and people everywhere I see more and more and more down trodden think they have to protect their own loss of Humanity to RAISE the WEALTH and THE CHURCH. Maybe that's not what it is about, but sure seems that way to me who had a seat to watch for a decade married into it.

This was released in 1941 which was one of the greatest years for film---Citizen Kane, Suspicion, How Green was my Valley, Dumbo and a host of other classics. '41 was the last great for cinematic achievement before we got involved in WWII and the era of more patriotic themed movies.

I must say some are taking this film to seriously, I laughed quite a few times .but mostly at the ridiculous and not very realistic ( car driving and fights ) , lol to many half-witted people in one movie does sort of make it feel like Hollywood was poking fun at the poor folks . With the character list (or should I say caricature list ),of lazy farmer ,down trodden wife ,half-witted son , old horny broad ,big dummy son- in-law , runaway abused child bride, lusty wood nymph, "well meaning" banker ,and our sweet but apparently financially erresponsible hero , I just wonder what people who saw it as a new movie in the theater walked away with from it ?

@@lindamazur6124 I agree that the characters are grotesquely over done, but having grown up in the southern backwoods, I can assure you there are people much like the Lesters out there. In spite of the campy movies that were made out of his books (God's Little Acre being the other one), Caldwell's writings touch on some important topics, and he offers a realistic counter to Steinbeck's noble victims, forced into abject poverty through no fault of their own.

John Ford did very good in following the script written by the author of the book Tobacco Road, Erskine Cladwell. Mr. Caldwell wrote some fabulous novels that depicted what he saw around him in his reality. Some of his books were considered too sexually explicit and controversial at the year in time thus did not make it to the big screen, but this movie is a wonderful representation of the novel.
