I saw this movie at a Drive In, with my girlfeind (and father) back in the 70's. We held hands. When it hit DVD, I ordered it.  I wonder where she is now :)

My favorite Jeff Bridges flick. Very underrated. Made in 1973 and captures the spirit of that year to a tee.

If interested, there was a book published in the 80's called "Moonshine " by Alec Wilkinson a biography about a modern day "revenuer", the late Garland Bunting of North Carolina, U.S.A. I read the book and became friends with Garland. He passed away in1995. There has been talk about making a movie based on the book for about 25 years now, not much action. The book is great reading though.

Google "Wisdom by the gallon" it is a short magazine article about Bunting.

Oh yeah, now I realise that moonshine refers to Whiskey in the US. Thanks.

Moonshine is a name for illegal whiskey. Comes from the stills being operated at night.
