Sixteen

my current girlfriend was in the movie as an extra.she lived in Georgia at the time.the film was awful.in her scene she was supposed to look at one of the other actors up and down when he walked into the bar.she was also had dance scene.the actor she was supposed to look at was the one who played the stunt rider at the carnival.i have been looking for this movie for some time now to surprise her.my wife tells me that the actor who played the stunt rider wanted her to be his point of view.she tells me they had to do three or four takes on that scene.the stunt riders point of view was supposed to be on the young girl who was SIXTEEN.after the scene was completed the actor said he wished that she was his point of view.

If you see on the trivia section how much this exploitation borrows from the classic semi-musical STATE FAIR, that's because I wrote that, and this...

In the 1945 classic, a hick family goes to a fair where the virginal teenage sister falls for an exciting and confident older fella, while big brother falls for a pretty woman who works as an entertainer there... at the fair...

Trade in a singer for a stripper, and a newspaperman for a motorcycle daredevil and here it is: What's basically a remake, and all the exploitation relies on the gorgeous titular SIXTEEN year old sister played by Simone Griffeth, an extremely gorgeous girl... as was Jeanne Crain, by the way...

Not bad for what anyone would consider bad with the low budget and all... Has the pace of a drive-in flick, and some nudity and sex to wake up the audience, as intended, who went for just that...

The setup has the family getting a nice payday, and the townspeople trying their best to separate them from it...

SIXTEEN did have more tiers than just the teenage blonde, but wound up with pretty much her and her only. After all, it's HER movie. Although there is more action with the stripper, trying to pry into the family money while, also like STATE FAIR, has a jealous boyfriend. Seriously, this IS a remake, no matter what it says, or doesn't say.

Meagerly funded and pretty trashy tale involving a dirt-poor backwoods couple coming unanticipatedly into a substantial amount of cash. They subsequently take their three kids to the state fair, where the two elder children(a boy and girl in their teens with an implied incestuous relationship)are corrupted by some shifty carnival folks. The girl is coerced into sex with a daredevil motorcycle rider(in front of an audience), and the boy becomes prey to a busty gold-digging stage dancer.

A sub-par and highly forgettable film which might be just quirky enough to interest a few fans of regional 70s exploitation cinema. Brief nudity and soft sex scenes may be missing from some prints.

Mercedes McCambridge, appearing rather uneasy here, gets a nomination for the "any old thing for a paycheck" Carradine Award. I imagine she was hard-up for fifty bucks when she signed on for this one. 4/10.

This here is a low budget gem. I won't spoil the story,you'll have to watch it ! Let's just say a sweetly naive,very poor country family go to the state fair and things get rocky. Funny in oh-so-many ways,my words cannot do it justice. The music ranges from cringeworthy to bad to pretty darn good,there is quite a dichotomy and range in the music. You just gotta see it !

Well, I have never seen this movie, but I know something about it as well. It was filmed on my family's property in South Georgia. My cousin was held by the lady that played the mother in the movie. My mom told me my great grandparents were not happy when they heard that there were nude scenes being shot in the creek and it was between a "brother and sister." The creek and pond or whatever was/is our land. My aunt bought this movie to see if you could see my grandfather's mill house, but I don't think she was successful. It is really neat that my family was part of this movie, but it is sad that the movie was so bad and so trashy. My family is nothing like the family depicted in the movie and it really upset them that the movie portrayed people from the South in that manner. I just wanted to add my two cents in.
