Screen shots from Tobacco Road 1941, and mixed images of Gene Tierney. Please see the great shot of Gene at 5:00 taken from Thunder Birds.
The title in Portuguese means "The Rough Road" which lays more emphasis on the family's plight than the comedy situations of the original novel.
Spanish title: La Ruta Del Tobaco.
Music: Symphony No. 5 III Romanza: Lento by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Directed by John Ford
Charley Grapewin as Jeeter Lester, Gene Tierney, William Tracy, Elizabeth Patterson,Ward Bond

Nor' passage of time,
Could hide the traces,
Of such a beauty,
With natural graces...

~The Hard Road~
Travel on lightly,
For you'll never know,
Where chance leads the journey,
Or chilling winds blow.
If the route leads to fame,
Trod on it not faster,
For the way to success,
Is paved with disaster.
If perchance you discover,
The life-giving tree,
Embrace its sweet blossoms,
And live blissfully.

Great. But I warn you, this vid captures a very different spirit than the movie.

Nice video, Gene was covered in oil nd dirt during the making of, Tobacco Road, to add to the grubby and sultry image Gene was to portray.

@HAPPYTHELEAF

Oil and dirt cannot hide natural beauty.

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

Oh so close and yet so far away...

All of your tributes are outstanding productions but this one is my favorite the transitions at .30 2:18, 2:50 around 4:30 are moments of art.
