This is Charles Laughton's only directorial credit and did he hit a home run. The performances are top-notch. The story take place in West Virginia on the Ohio river after the depression. You can easily imagine the cast as real people. Their acting is so realistic. Many towns in that area haven't changed much in the last 80 years. They still mine coal, brew moonshine and praise Jesus.
