Directed by John Ford, based on the 1933 play and novel by Erskine Caldwell, Tobacco Road (1941) took lots of work and nearly ten years worth of dealing before it was adapted for the screen. The story centers on poor farmer folks set to lose their land to the bank. Comedy balances well with emotion. Gene Tierney appears in an early role, looking beautiful despite being covered in dirt. The rest of the cast does a fine job as well, including Charley Grapewin, Ward Bond and Dana Andrews.
