  • how can i purchase on dvd of this movie i heard about it but never seen it. i would love to see

  • Bobbie Gentry always claimed the song was written as a mystery with no intent to portray Billy Joe McAllister's suicide as a victim of pedophelia. Warner Bros. hired Herman Raucher (Summer of 42) who made a novel & a screenplay out of the song by playing off the success of the novel & the movie, Deliverance. Apparently, Max Baer had a deal with the studio thru his Beverly Hillbillies contract to produce & direct. The low budget "rip-off" cost $1 million & grossed over $30 million world wide.

  • Wait did someone actually jump off that bridge?

  • omg this guy sang this song to my 7th grade class and used this guitar and held down the strings with like a meatal finger, it made it sound really neat! Its such a great song, with unique voice :D

  • COMEING TO DVD APRIL 2009

  • Hopefully this summer I'm going to get back to Greenwood where this took place, and was filmed. I'll see if I can scrounge up pictures or video of the locations today.

  • If you don't It's cool, thank you for trying! :)
