Supposedly representing the mores of a small Georgia town in 1948.
A slut gives herself to every guy in town. The high school BMOC shunned by his girlfriend who won't let him go all the way before they get married, goes out with the slut and then falls in love with her.
She stops giving it out to every boy in town, so they rape and kill her in revenge.
I only found out the plot points by reading it on Wikipedia. I'm glad I got bored/disgusted before I got too far into it.
That's what the producer Ron Silverman decided were "good ole' family values" back in Georgia in '48.
I remember that movie.
I never saw it. I was too young for R-Rated movies.
It got good reviews.
As a kid I remember Far North West Georgia from the early 50’s. I guess I missed out on all that stuff somehow but I did catch some rock-salt while stealing a watermelon. A learning moment.
