Tobacco Road
ON THE SCREEN AT LAST! The Picture you've waited eight years to see...Picturized by the men who gave you "GRAPES OF WRATH"
A slapstick rural comedy-drama about a struggling sharecropping family facing economic displacement, balancing broad humor with the melancholy of lost gentility and social decline.
Shiftless Jeeter Lester and his family of sharecroppers live in rural Georgia where their ancestors were once wealthy planters. Their slapstick existence is threatened by a bank's plans to take over the land for more profitable farming.
