A redneck archetype in that movie scene of a sort of person rarely if ever seen any more. And that sure was a BIZARRE scene...and the bad acting made it even stranger.

Hopefully Joel or Mike and the bots got to rip it to shreds in Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Sorry...I didn’t see anything unusual. Looked like the boss was living a good life.

Crackers and LBJ might be the same person.

Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and several others were straight out of that culture.

Buddy Holly, Willie Nelson and Leon Russell had ducktails and sports jackets, about that time.

Kris Kristofferson was in college getting a degree in Literature (1958).

Don’t let the accents get in the way of appreciating good early Rock & Roll, Country, etc.

The music at the start is very good. The dancing gangster in plaid skivvies no so much.

You need to get out more. The guy in the bathing suit was a northerner.

The music was raw, very basic, somewhat derivative but entertaining. There was a similar group that was quite popular in my parents’ day called “Hot Nuts,” they played all over the southeast, particularly Myrtle Beach.

This apparently was a regional movie with amateur actors, documenting a popular music scene in Texas, in 1957 from the looks of the cars. They probably knew the bands, having seen and heard them before.

All negative stereotypical redneck portrayals are done by Yankee actors. The worst example was Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. No way are these real, the accent is wrong, sounds like New Jersey trying to play southern.

Dixie Carter and Delta Burke are real Southerners, which is why Desigining Women had positive portrayals of southern women. For the first few years, anyway.

>>>The music in this movie stinks<<<

Johnny “Wild Wild Women” Carroll is awesome

This film is a priceless document of the Dallas music scene at the time

The way the boss dude was eyeing him was super gay.
