Another great John Ford movie! How I wish there were actually actors and directors like there used to be! No swearing, no blatant sex scenes and an actual script!
oh you mean when actors knew how to act and movies had actual great story with out having to prop them up with all kinds of fx? I hate the sex scene fillers to add content to reach that hour and a half time frame. So meaningless.
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-Real-Ando I agree, you don't understand. This is my opinion only. I certainly won't get into an argument. Suffice it to say that this is not "just a movie". It is a depiction of a preconceived notion of a group of people that no one wants to waste their time on understanding. Sad but true. It's just easier to go along with the status quo than it is to form our own opinions through research. No need for a reply. Thanks
Sara Chesterfield you say you don’t want argue and then argue, funny. Well your still wrong it’s just a movie, just like a movie with the Lone Ranger Tonto doesn’t depict the lives of Native Americans. Thanks no need for an answer.
@@The-Real-Ando Ssra is right. It's a deceptive, often ridiculous caricature. I understand exactly what she means. Instead of saying it's "just a movie" you could say,, "It's just an insult" - that would be more honest if you knew enough to be honest. You should be ashamed - to her I would say, "Ignore him, he's just a real jerk." Except she shouldn't ignore jerks like you. My own family is from Appalachian and this script is just ignorant. Jerks spread ignorance. Maybe you think that's okay if it's made in Hollywood. Not supposed to be "a depiction of anybody in some form of factual way"? You mean it's supposed to be a joke? Hard to tell from your phrasing what you're talking about. .
Sara Chesterfield I agree. He was lazy. But there were lazy people then just as there are now. For the life of me I can’t understand any attraction to this movie.
There sure could of been a part 2 to this CLASSIC ; I remember "Jetter " in Grapes of WRATH . This how movie producers Produced true to life family together viewing . 💯🤗🎆🎥🎞️🎬
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
You have to be kidding me. This was the worse movie I have ever seen. Over acting, Stereotypes, No story line. I've seen better keystone cops reels. Was it a comedy? If so the only thing funn was when " dude boy " got knocked out and his car turned over.
What a great movie! Erskine Caldwell conjures up a southern imagery unmatchable, and along with John Huston's masterful direction, there is a pride, strength, humanity, and merriment like no other! A wonderful depiction of uneducated but morally struggling people with the honest belief of right and wrong, aware of their faults, and well knowing that in a week will do just fine! Thank you, Dino!
I grew up very poor, but we did have land and worked every day,so daddy and mama made sure there was plenty to eat .my mama made my dresses from flour sacks. I was 7 th.of 8 children. We sang the old songs in church on Sunday. I still do now.watched daddy kill hogs ever fall.me and mama made hog head cheese.we had ham all winter.Alright I don’t think I grew up poor, but blessed by God to have the most wonderful family ever.
and you are correct. If the idea of poverty is put in someone's head, they will think they are somehow inferior for their entire life. Otherwise they will just be happy and think everyone worrying about money is stupid
My parents grew up poor in a village in Europe. Had to beg for food around the village. If your crops failed what then...you go begging, or until some relative helps you to stand on your feet.... They grew up with truck loads of common sense...Realists....one cannot learn this in a school or university. This real life...They always had Faith in God.
I wish they would make movies like this now days. No cussing, or sexual scenes. Just good movie!! Bless that poor ole man’s heart. Get her some snuff. Lol. Love hearing the gospel songs
ye just promotion of paedophilia, and poverty. I would take cussing and sex scenes between adults any day then watching movies that have 13 year old girls being married of for $7 in them, you have a very strange taste in movies Darlene.
Try to find old movies to watch with my son without so much violence and murder. Old movies from 50s and 60s before everything is all about pointing guns and blowing things up.
Unfortunately, I have the feeling Mr. Caldwell wouldn't be proud of this movie. I recommend everyone read Mr. Erskine Caldwell and find why and where he got the idea for his novels. Then Mr. Thomas Sowell will seal your understanding. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Road_(novel) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rednecks_and_White_Liberals en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erskine_Caldwell
modern hollywood ought to take lessons from john ford. that is study all details in choosing the right script and the procedure of production. This is why these movies still shine through even 70 years later.
One of my favorite movies, mainly because Jeter Lester reminds me so much of my grandpa (on my father's side). The movie is a comedy - maybe a dark comedy, but the book is definitely a more serious treatment of the subject of rural poverty.
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 ? LoL
What a sad but lovely film. I felt so sorry for Jeeter and Aidy, but particularly Aidy. She had born and raised 17 kids, but none of them apart from Tom wanted anything to do with them. Dude was positively evil and should have passed a driving test before buying that beautiful car which he subsequently wrecked.
@@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.
Naicin has other benefits, for example Naicin is the onky known drug that transforms bad cholestrol to good chloestrol (All the other drugs remove cholestrol not transform them). The only other way to transform bad to good cholestrol is exercise.
this movie and grapes of wrath are two of a kind. poverty was so wide spread back in the day. The actor who played the police chief played the part of pa in grapes of wrath
The only difference is Grapes of Wrath made some sense and had some sort of story to it....this....just a bunch of dumb lazy trash that would amount to much...something like a mo and pa kettle show....
Yeah Phil, I know but what was coming-up after was "The Grapes of Wrath." See that one and cry all-over again. (Probably available here on RUclips.) . : .
@@wattbyronsr it sure does. When they killed grandma and kept going on as normal was quite eye opening. Part of the truth is how ruthless they were. Wow.
A comic masterpiece, which should be taken for what it is: a comic masterpiece - by Ford. Wonderful wackiness, superb car antics, beautifully shot by the great Arthur Miller, and given the full 20th-Fox studio treatment.
I can't believe I had never seen this film before- such a funny and in many ways touching movie. What a bunch of characters- and all so very funny. I really felt the pain of Ada (Ma Lester ) and the actor who played Dude-absolutely stole the show- he just cracked me up!..... What quality! Back then actors could really act... No wonder these films are called Classics!
This was one of the saddest movies. I ever saw because they have so many children that did not care about them at all. And I know it was just a movie but there are plenty of people out there even today who have children that don't care about them. And it breaks my heart!
Resigned to a life of poverty, hopelessness and inaction, was it truly this tragic? Are there still Tobacco Roads in this great country? Somebody tell me just what can be done to raise up these lost souls. I'm at a loss to know where to even begin. Great film, sad reality to behold.
Beautiful, comic ,tragic, at times hilarious and also at times heart rending. I cannot categorize this old masterpiece, and therefore will not even try. Enjoy !
I grew up in upstate New York, in the 50s the depression was still in effect, it was still much like “the grapes of wrath and tabaco road”it was still hard times until the 70s
Recipe for mashed turnip . When mashing turnip , add 2 tablespoons of butter along with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar . Mash to a lumpy consistency and bon appetite . Been cooking this way for over 50 years .

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.
Back in the forties l heard my mother talk about these books and she was not pleased. When l was a teenager l read every Erskine Caldwell book l could find and unlike my mother l found them funny. Good movie.

I'm seeing negative comments from two yrs. ago , so I'm not playing catchup . Remember one thing , IT'S JUST A MOVIE !!!!! If you don't like it , don't watch it .
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.
Totally agree about the town curb shot. Composition and where it was placed in the movie is wonderful. Thanks to the uploader. Also, I'm a big fan of La Strada.
the movie dropped the ball concerning Ellie Mae. The character as well as Sister Bessie had severe facial deformaties, things that didnt translate well to cinema of the day. Plus the play and movie omit some key points in the novel. The novel would have never made it to film, had the play hadn't happened. I could understand a reader of the novel not recognizing the story in the movie at all.
@@MrSoulauctioneer - And I understand exactly what you mean and it happens often. I can understand cutting back certain scenes in a book to keep the movie short but not key elements like you outlined. Though, considering the era it was made the producers may have thought deformities would have offended the audience. But we already had movies like "M" with Peter Lorre, and "Freaks," by Todd Browning. "The Towering Inferno" film was actually based on two separate novels. But that's Hollywood.
Well, I grew up on a big farm. My pa owned 900 acres. We breed cattle . pigs, sheep, etc. We had a small but modest home. 6 bedroom , 5 bathrooms , servant quarters , Formal living room, Formal dinning room, a parlor and kitchen, big o'l wine cellar, wrap around porch . And a wonderful attic where us kids always love to play. I remember as a child we always had wonderful times on the farm. I can remember my sheep her name was Naybelle . At least that what I called her. And my horse "gray-thunder" Because he was such a wonderful shade of grayish/blue. Dad got him for me when I was 10. Oh how I love to ride him. In the summer we'd sit on that big porch. And we'd always have a big o'l pitcher or pitchers of Ice cold lemonade and cookies out for the Ranch hands. ( There were 14 or more of them. ) My parents love giving parties after a good harvest season. Yes, I love my childhood.
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.

1939 was the best year, says most movie buffs. Gone with the wind, the wizard of Ozz and many more.
My great grandfather, whom I never knew, was a Baptist minister and farmer in rural south Georgia in the 1930's and earlier. My mother used to spend summers on his farm and played the piano in his church. When I was small in the 1960's, my mother and grandmother took me to a family reunion/revival at the church where my great grandfather had preached. I was astounded that everyone there, except me, could sing hymns I had never heard of, and they knew all the lyrics without hymnals.
I don't suppose this classic was meant to be a comedy , but I've laughed as hard as I did watching this movie more than any intended comedy I've ever watched !!!!!!!.
Erskine Caldwell, the author of the novel, intended it to be a serious expose of rural poverty. He was furious that Broadway audiences roared with laughter at the play. But it was the funny play and not the serious novel that made Caldwell a rich man.
John Ford had a patent on Monument Valley. Nobody would dare make a movie there. It was like his own heaven. He at times was a son of a bitch but what a great director.
My grandmother had 14 kids. She fed grandpa saltpeter but clearly it didn't work. She avoided him at all costs.lol she had a big garden in appalacia and had to have a lot of chickens and that is what they loved on. We had to pick berries in season my fingers were stained purple. Didn't matter when I went to school everyone else's fingers were stained too.
I grew up in South Augusta, about a mile and a half from Tobacco Road, passing Windsor Spring as I walked that route many times. 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.
@@marycurry837 Most of the movie was on the back lots of the movie studios. In the big picture, Augusta and Statesboro aren't really that close to one another. Tobacco Rd is around 15 miles south from downtown Augusta. A trip to town was a very big deal for most people. The actual nearest town was Hephzibah but it wasn't much more than a small grocery store and post office.
@@GinnyC1961 Yes, I had my facts badly wrong on that. I stand corrected and I apologize for spreading bad information I picked up somewhere. After researching the issue, It appears that not only was Tobacco Road pre-existing the book, but in addition to that, Augusta has has been downright ashamed of Caldwell until recently.
This Movie Scares me to Death! .... I knew people like this - act like this - think like this and i live with them for nearly a year... it was nuts. I saw this movie after I left & it was like ton of bricks hitting me.

@@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.
@@Labor_Jones Even among plantation owners, with their ill gotten fabulous new wealth, were sneered by old wealth back in England etc and were considered unacceptably uncultured.
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.
The son is the funniest guy I've ever seen in my life,and how bout the guy that got so mad he walloped dude and turned his car over...this was an extremely funny movie
It was interesting to run across this movie. I think I've seen it before but I read the book a long time ago and I don't think it's as deep as the book. Will have to dig it out and read it again one of these days.
Me gustan las películas del cine de oro de Hollywood..de Jhon Ford.. Henry Fonda... Antony Queen.. etcétera..soy del Perú..si pueden subir en español... gracias.
I call myself a lover of old classics. It's ashame that I have lived this long and have never seen this movie!☹️ Why it's the funniest little movie I have ever been BLESSED to see!🤣😂😊 I adored the ole guy..he was funny as all get out!😺 Oh my goodness..the son in law says ,"well I kicked her,and poured water on her!" And that turnip thing was so funny. You see I had just got done doing a 16 hour shift . It was pretty WILD on my floor. Yes I work on a Psych Unit.. must have been a full moon or something, But I gave so much to my Patients,that by the time I got home..I was tired mentally and physically. I told my friend that I wish when I got home from work that I could watch a great movie..maybe a movie that would make me giggle. So she suggested this one. I never thought in all my dreams I would enjoy myself watching a movie so much.,🤣😂. I just want to say thank you for uploading this movie. Everybody calling me a hero..well your a HERO for UPLOADING this movie! Thank you so much again. Sincerely, Cassondra 🤗
My Mom worked as a nurse in a Veterans Hosp...also in the Psych ward. She loved her job....and was so small....only 5ft tall. I asked her one day how she was able to deal with them and she told me, "Thommy....you just gotta look'em straight in the eye and tell'em what's what.....never let them think your afraid....and you'll do fine" I miss my Mom.....To me she was an unspoken hero, and I must say, dear lady.....so are YOU!!!! God bless you for all your doing.....He's got a HUGE.....Reward waiting for you on the other side. I've never seen this movie but noticed it was directed by John Ford who also did many John Wayne pictures so I thought I'd give this one a try. My wife teaches school here in South Africa. I grew up in Ohio....love it here though. God is good everywhere....

Yes I look them pure in the eye and they respect me. I also treat them good. That's what they need. Yes she's my hero to now. Thank you so much. And I think you should write a book,because Ohio is very different from South Africa. I am from Michigan...I can't imagine how beautiful South Africa must be. 🙂 Enjoy your life..And be so ever safe and sound with this covid 19. It's running rapid here in Michigan. Bless you and your Dear Wife and all who you love. Blessings,Joy! (🙏🙂💐💎💖All for your Mom...In Heaven) Joyous
@@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 RUclips, 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.

Love Ford’s scenes, the man is a pure genius, his compositions in all his movies are the best
He knew how to make a good movie. That was probably not easy then, as it is now where you can basically do most of the work yourself by new tech.
Have you ever read the manuals for said "New Tech" or tried to set up an interface with other not-so-new tech? Didn't think so.@@jmp01a24
I grew up very poor, but we did have land and worked every day,so daddy and mama made sure there was plenty to eat .my mama made my dresses from flour sacks. I was 7 th.of 8 children. We sang the old songs in church on Sunday. I still do now.watched daddy kill hogs ever fall.me and mama made hog head cheese.we had ham all winter.Alright I don’t think I grew up poor, but blessed by God to have the most wonderful family ever.
and you are correct. If the idea of poverty is put in someone's head, they will think they are somehow inferior for their entire life. Otherwise they will just be happy and think everyone worrying about money is stupid
My parents grew up poor in a village in Europe. Had to beg for food around the village. If your crops failed what then...you go begging, or until some relative helps you to stand on your feet.... They grew up with truck loads of common sense...Realists....one cannot learn this in a school or university. This real life...They always had Faith in God.
God the biggest god damned joke ever perpetrated.
Amen!!!
@@jamesyoung6379 You must be a Demon-Crap!!!
I wish they would make movies like this now days. No cussing, or sexual scenes. Just good movie!! Bless that poor ole man’s heart. Get her some snuff. Lol. Love hearing the gospel songs
ye just promotion of paedophilia, and poverty. I would take cussing and sex scenes between adults any day then watching movies that have 13 year old girls being married of for $7 in them, you have a very strange taste in movies Darlene.
I completely agree, Darlene. Movies today are a load of garbage. Sorry, Gerard, you're in a minority.
talladale is as inbreed as the characters but not as smart.
Try to find old movies to watch with my son without so much violence and murder. Old movies from 50s and 60s before everything is all about pointing guns and blowing things up.
Unfortunately, I have the feeling Mr. Caldwell wouldn't be proud of this movie. I recommend everyone read Mr. Erskine Caldwell and find why and where he got the idea for his novels. Then Mr. Thomas Sowell will seal your understanding.

modern hollywood ought to take lessons from john ford. that is study all details in choosing the right script and the procedure of production. This is why these movies still shine through even 70 years later.
Jody Guilbeaux are you on drugs? This story and the movie are horrible!

@@fantaclaus7053 SANTA, ITS JUST AN OPINION. IVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE, NO IM NOT ON DRUGS SANTA. SEE YOU AT THE END OF THE YEAR. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Longest play ever on broadway,so glad they made a movie.Enjoyed it so much,laugh and cried.
Beautiful Movie.. In Tears
Never saw John Ford's Tobacco Road ... Great movie ... Thank you
One of my favorite movies, mainly because Jeter Lester reminds me so much of my grandpa (on my father's side). The movie is a comedy - maybe a dark comedy, but the book is definitely a more serious treatment of the subject of rural poverty.
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 ? LoL
What a sad but lovely film. I felt so sorry for Jeeter and Aidy, but particularly Aidy. She had born and raised 17 kids, but none of them apart from Tom wanted anything to do with them. Dude was positively evil and should have passed a driving test before buying that beautiful car which he subsequently wrecked.
@@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.
Not just rural poverty but Pellagra. B3 Niacin deficiency. We fortify foods to prevent it now.
Naicin has other benefits, for example Naicin is the onky known drug that transforms bad cholestrol to good chloestrol (All the other drugs remove cholestrol not transform them).
The only other way to transform bad to good cholestrol is exercise.
These hymns are beautiful
I grow up learning them all😇
The clarity of the old quality B&Ws leaves more recent colour B movies way behind. What a great movie. Thank you.
this movie and grapes of wrath are two of a kind. poverty was so wide spread back in the day. The actor who played the police chief played the part of pa in grapes of wrath
The only difference is Grapes of Wrath made some sense and had some sort of story to it....this....just a bunch of dumb lazy trash that would amount to much...something like a mo and pa kettle show....
I remember seeing this when I was little, probably during the 50s and it made me cry because it’s just so sad.
Yeah Phil, I know but what was coming-up after was "The Grapes of Wrath." See that one and cry all-over again. (Probably available here on RUclips.)
. : .
Gene Tierney as Ellie May. Even smudged up and dressed in rags she was stunning.
Beauty way ahead of her time.
That she was. She was fantastic in "The Razors Edge"
I LOVE ALL THE COMMENTS TALKING ABOUT NO SEX....MARRYING A TEEN AND SEXY GENE TIERNIY THIS IS ADULT STUFF HERE
JFK tapped that.
@@edgein3299 As a catholic JFK would not marry a divorced woman. She game him an ultimatum which would have jeopardized his election chances.
during the great depression it was better to be poor than be without God
I feel the same way now. I’m not poor, and I’m not rich, but I thank God for what I have. And I know it’s because of his Grace.
“Night of the Hunter,” another great old movie to watch.

LOVE ME SOME, JOHN FORD!!!!!!!!!! THANKS UPLOADER!!!!!
I am from Mobile Alabama and this is one of the funniest movies ever. Wow!
I went to school in Tuskegee! This IS hilarious. The book is cold blooded.
I was about tell everyone about the book. It's wild and it tells some strange truth about the South and it is still relevant 🤷 🤔
@@wattbyronsr it sure does. When they killed grandma and kept going on as normal was quite eye opening. Part of the truth is how ruthless they were. Wow.
Well hallulah! This is a refreshing breath of Country Air, Entertainment, and a whole lot more of you name it, this movie has got it in loads !!!
A comic masterpiece, which should be taken for what it is: a comic masterpiece - by Ford. Wonderful wackiness, superb car antics, beautifully shot by the great Arthur Miller, and given the full 20th-Fox studio treatment.
Thanks for posting this film. Ford was the best, and his touch is all over this movie. Beautifully made.
I can't believe I had never seen this film before- such a funny and in many ways touching movie. What a bunch of characters- and all so very funny. I really felt the pain of Ada (Ma Lester ) and the actor who played Dude-absolutely stole the show- he just cracked me up!..... What quality! Back then actors could really act... No wonder these films are called Classics!
Very unusual wonderful movie! heart warming and funny, love this movie ❤ watched it many times ❤❤❤
I love the way the old man prays straight from the heart and no bull****.
Yeah! A real con man
This is a silly movie these people are crazy. It's look like a poor village.
A very touching yet beautiful movie, great acting ! Thanks
This was one of the saddest movies. I ever saw because they have so many children that did not care about them at all. And I know it was just a movie but there are plenty of people out there even today who have children that don't care about them. And it breaks my heart!
Resigned to a life of poverty, hopelessness and inaction, was it truly this tragic? Are there still Tobacco Roads in this great country? Somebody tell me just what can be done to raise up these lost souls. I'm at a loss to know where to even begin. Great film, sad reality to behold.
Yes there are still “ tobacco roads “ in our great country. We send foodstuffs overseas and still have people who need food here at home.
The ending brings tears to my eyes.
That dog was his best friend didn't care if he was as poor as a church mouse.🐕
Awww I live in Statesboro GA. When he said that I almost fell off my seat. Crazy but good movie.
Statesboro Blues, The Allman Bros.
Pellagra. B3 Niacin deficiency. Huge problem in the South back then. Caused people to act crazy.
Great movie 🎥, I recommend watching it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The sight of Gene Tierney loping through the field is about the most beautiful thing ever put to film!
She was such a fox
The only ( and I mean only ) redeeming part of the movie.
An exceptional movie, that is: a real gem!
Beautiful, comic ,tragic, at times hilarious and also at times heart rending. I cannot categorize this old masterpiece, and therefore will not even try. Enjoy !
I grew up in upstate New York, in the 50s the depression was still in effect, it was still much like “the grapes of wrath and tabaco road”it was still hard times until the 70s
JOHN FORD HIS MOVIES 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥 WERE ALWAYS OUTSTANDING TOBBACCO ROAD IS SO GOOD YEH ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for posting, hardly show this much. Great old film
Because of this movie... I went and bought a Turnip to try. Never tasted one before and it wasn't half bad.
Recipe for mashed turnip . When mashing turnip , add 2 tablespoons of butter along with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar . Mash to a lumpy consistency and bon appetite . Been cooking this way for over 50 years .
Frank Dalla small young turnips, boiled and served with white sauce. Get some.
If all you've ever eaten is potatoes, you're in for a treat. Try parsnips too.
Growing up in north GA we use to dig turnips while playing through the woods and fields and eat them raw like an apple.
And, if you don't like them hide 'em under your mashed potatoes so your mother doesn't notice when the plate gets scraped, scrapped, whichever. Works for cauliflower, too.
Very good 😊 great show 👍 thank you
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.
Oh my word, such sadness I'm so sorry. I had a Bessie Mae in my family. May her soul rest with Jesus.
Good book & movie ty 4 uploading
Back in the forties l heard my mother talk about these books and she was not pleased. When l was a teenager l read every Erskine Caldwell book l could find and unlike my mother l found them funny. Good movie.
You may be interested to read about Pellagra and some of the symptoms. Dementia was one of them. It made the people go crazy. A vitamin B3 niacin deficiency. We fortify certain foods to prevent it now.
Mother talked about that too and the cornbread and molasses diet.
She didn't tell me about dementia.
my favorite book, i love this movie !
I'm seeing negative comments from two yrs. ago , so I'm not playing catchup . Remember one thing , IT'S JUST A MOVIE !!!!! If you don't like it , don't watch it .
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.
Totally agree about the town curb shot. Composition and where it was placed in the movie is wonderful.
Thanks to the uploader.
Also, I'm a big fan of La Strada.
the movie dropped the ball concerning Ellie Mae. The character as well as Sister Bessie had severe facial deformaties, things that didnt translate well to cinema of the day. Plus the play and movie omit some key points in the novel. The novel would have never made it to film, had the play hadn't happened. I could understand a reader of the novel not recognizing the story in the movie at all.
@@MrSoulauctioneer - And I understand exactly what you mean and it happens often. I can understand cutting back certain scenes in a book to keep the movie short but not key elements like you outlined.
Though, considering the era it was made the producers may have thought deformities would have offended the audience. But we already had movies like "M" with Peter Lorre, and "Freaks," by Todd Browning.
"The Towering Inferno" film was actually based on two separate novels. But that's Hollywood.
Yes absurd Gene Tierney one of the most beautiful actresses of her time playing that
I couldn't believe 😂
Ya gotta love the soundtrack! It’s perfect.
Reminds me of my relatives back in old Georgia.
John Ford movies are the best movies of all time
Anther masterpiece novel and movie. Thanks!
Well, I grew up on a big farm. My pa owned 900 acres. We breed cattle . pigs, sheep, etc. We had a small but modest home. 6 bedroom , 5 bathrooms , servant quarters , Formal living room, Formal dinning room, a parlor and kitchen, big o'l wine cellar, wrap around porch . And a wonderful attic where us kids always love to play. I remember as a child we always had wonderful times on the farm. I can remember my sheep her name was Naybelle . At least that what I called her. And my horse "gray-thunder" Because he was such a wonderful shade of grayish/blue. Dad got him for me when I was 10. Oh how I love to ride him. In the summer we'd sit on that big porch. And we'd always have a big o'l pitcher or pitchers of Ice cold lemonade and cookies out for the Ranch hands. ( There were 14 or more of them. ) My parents love giving parties after a good harvest season. Yes, I love my childhood.
bs
Yup same here 😊
I wish I could go back for one more day. Now everyone live on there phone's know.
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.
1939 was the best year, says most movie buffs. Gone with the wind, the wizard of Ozz and many more.
@ It sure was- Gone with the Wind-- 1939 was really the greatest. In my view, films today are rubbish in comparison.
all the great movies where made in 1939 sorry!
in 1941 the Commonwealth, including Canada had already been at war for two years ...
Every one seems to know and join in singing the old religious songs. It seems to show a now nonexistent community unity.
My great grandfather, whom I never knew, was a Baptist minister and farmer in rural south Georgia in the 1930's and earlier. My mother used to spend summers on his farm and played the piano in his church. When I was small in the 1960's, my mother and grandmother took me to a family reunion/revival at the church where my great grandfather had preached. I was astounded that everyone there, except me, could sing hymns I had never heard of, and they knew all the lyrics without hymnals.
Reminds me of my dad's side of the family in the Benton, Tennessee area when I was a kid...
Sun shines even in Hard times.
I don't suppose this classic was meant to be a comedy , but I've laughed as hard as I did watching this movie more than any intended comedy I've ever watched !!!!!!!.
Erskine Caldwell, the author of the novel, intended it to be a serious expose of rural poverty. He was furious that Broadway audiences roared with laughter at the play. But it was the funny play and not the serious novel that made Caldwell a rich man.
Wow John Ford was awesome
Great movie! Thanks for sharing!
The harmony singing (for example, in the scene buying the car) was wonderful! What a great old movie!
Thank you for the movie. I never saw this although I have heard of it for years - very sad and thought-provoking.
There's no dishonor in poverty. But there is NO honor in laziness.
Dad was lazy. No doubt about it. I think that was the moral of the story.
What a wonderful old movie. Thank you so much
Great movie. The great John Ford!
John Ford had a patent on Monument Valley. Nobody would dare make a movie there. It was like his own heaven. He at times was a son of a bitch but what a great director.
One of my favorite movies
My grandmother had 14 kids. She fed grandpa saltpeter but clearly it didn't work. She avoided him at all costs.lol she had a big garden in appalacia and had to have a lot of chickens and that is what they loved on. We had to pick berries in season my fingers were stained purple. Didn't matter when I went to school everyone else's fingers were stained too.
Did not want movie to end.
Thanks.
wonderful movie!! seen it many times... every time enjoyable!
Great looking film and nice to see Gene Tierney. Bringing in the sheaves + "Here's 10 dollars, buy yourself some seed and guano."
I wish they still made movies like this .
You said it
Amazing Movie! The garbage today can't hold a candle to it.
I grew up in South Augusta, about a mile and a half from Tobacco Road, passing Windsor Spring as I walked that route many times. 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.
So The Movie Was Filmed I Georgia. I Thought It Would Be When They Mentioned Statesboro and Augusta.
@@marycurry837
Most of the movie was on the back lots of the movie studios. In the big picture, Augusta and Statesboro aren't really that close to one another. Tobacco Rd is around 15 miles south from downtown Augusta. A trip to town was a very big deal for most people. The actual nearest town was Hephzibah but it wasn't much more than a small grocery store and post office.
Brakes my heart ❤️ 💙 great movie
A gem of a little movie
I love those people, very good actors 👏
I was stationed in Fort Gordon, Georgie back 1965. The main road outside our post was called Tobacco Road.
Erskin Caldwell was from Augusta and the book was based on characters from that area. They probably named the road in his honor.
@@watsjd1
The road had the name before the book was written.
@@GinnyC1961 Yes, I had my facts badly wrong on that. I stand corrected and I apologize for spreading bad information I picked up somewhere. After researching the issue, It appears that not only was Tobacco Road pre-existing the book, but in addition to that, Augusta has has been downright ashamed of Caldwell until recently.
Great movie I. Was born in 1952

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.

@@Labor_Jones Even among plantation owners, with their ill gotten fabulous new wealth, were sneered by old wealth back in England etc and were considered unacceptably uncultured.

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.
Entertaining an nostalgic pic! Worth watching
The son is the funniest guy I've ever seen in my life,and how bout the guy that got so mad he walloped dude and turned his car over...this was an extremely funny movie
I thought it was fun too. A nice change of phase from todays shitfest movies.
It was interesting to run across this movie. I think I've seen it before but I read the book a long time ago and I don't think it's as deep as the book. Will have to dig it out and read it again one of these days.
Walter Houston is one of many fine Irish actors.
Thank you for this excellent movie.

@@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 RUclips, 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.
