Going Back Home

7/15/2013

Sorry for the lack of updates this week.  I got felled by a summer cold.  And now I am stepping away for a week to tackle a necessary project.  But will be back with updates and lots of other stuff on July 22.  In the meantime......here are two favorite movie moments from one of my home states: West Virginia.
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Orphans John and Pearl flee their murderous stepfather (Robert Mitchum) by taking a boat down the Ohio River.  One of the loveliest and scariest movies I know based on the novel by West Virginia writer Davis Grubb.
Fool's Parade (1971)
Mattie Appleyard (James Stewart) gets paroled from the Moundsville, WV penitentiary but no one will cash his check for $25,000 he's earned for 35 years of labor in prison.  Appleyard decides to take matters into his own hands (I do not recommend this method!).  Also based on a novel by West Virginia's Davis Grubb.
