Good Country People (1960's, short)

What a strange plot twist at the end of this film. Gary Graver filmed this very early in his career as he was learning the art and craft of movie making. Shortly after making this, he was drafted in the Vietnam war, where he was assigned to the Combat Camera Group of the U.S. Navy. Then it was back to Hollywood where he started making full length features.

I had to read it last week but It was kind of puzzling at first, but at the end it was ok

I don't like it very much, it is much too simplified in comparison to the story..Hulgu looks too pretty and too fragile..

I don't understand the plot twist at the end you are talking about, this is exactly how it ended. Hahahaha Pointer's sexy...besides that weird stealthy walk/run he does lmao. But I also agree with minnymich, they did combine the two characters of Mrs. Hopewell and Hulga/Joy, but I'm assuming it was just to save time in the film.

1. Hulga was not supposed to be pretty & she had glasses in the book

2. Hulha and her mom's lines and characters were combined into one!

3. They were supposed to be in a barn

4. She was supposed to be 32 and she had told him she was 17 (bc he was 19)

5. Hulga was supposed to be portrayed as very educated and smug

It's not like this was a looonnngggg novel that couldn't be translated properly onto film

But thanks for posting!! It was cool to watch!!

Hulga kinda reminds me of Angela from the Office in this rendition. Except she's an athiest instead of an uber Christian...

in the story...Mrs. Hopewell is nice, a people pleaser. not mean.
