That is an interesting still, Lasbugas. I don't remember that scene in the film. It must have wound up on the cutting room floor.

I though that young Matt (Duke) was told all his life that he had to kill his father for leaving his mother and bringing upon them a curse that will only be lifted with his father's death.
I also loved the book by Harold Bell Wright. It is different than the movie (characters are the same, but story line differs), but well written and hard to put down. I recommend it to the readers on this site. You can sometimes find a copy of it on ebay pretty cheap.

I like this film very much and thought it almost seemed to touch on some sort of cult. When watching it, I felt transported, into some mysterious, insular, backwater world, where everyone spoke strangely.
Well said, Keith! I felt the same way about this film. I often find myself unable to put into words what I think. You captured it. I love this film because I feel it takes me back into the story. I love the Ozarks. And something about Betty Fields draws you to her. She did an enchanting job with this part.
For those of you who also like to read, I highly recommend the book. The story line is similar, with a few changes. It is well written and hard to put down. This film will always be in my top ten.Mark
