Bad Georgia Road

I never caught the end of this, so I can't spoil it to you. Molly Golden is a New York socialite, whatever that is, who inherits an uncle's farm in Alabama. She thinks it will be like the rest of rural America: boring. When she gets there, she finds that her uncle had unpaid feed bills, etc., and that she is stuck with a farm that would be hard to sell for much money. "Most folks around here don't buy land: they inherit it." Arthur Pennyrich, the religious old moonshiner, tells her about the money to be made by keeping her uncle's shine business going. "You just take a little cornmeal, a little malt, ..." Leroy Hastings, the runner, is a crude clod who even eats fried eggs with his bare hands. He runs in a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. The last thing a New York socialite would consider being is an illegal moonshiner. Is Molly moonshiner material? Molly is an impressionable senseless woman who hates work but loves thrills and money. She becomes a moonshiner, for better or worse.

The '70s was the decade for action films about moonshining, but this obscure entry is too slow and uninteresting for fans of the genre. Carol Lynley is Molly Golden, a snobbish New York socialite who learns she has inherited, unbeknownst to her, her deceased uncle's moonshine still in the deep south. His employees: oil-stained slob Leroy (Gary Lockwood) and flaky Arthur (Royal Dano) are not too happy about Molly's arrival. After failing to relinquish the property, she decides to take over the moonshine business, as well as butting heads with Leroy on a regular basis.

Sadly, the film is very light on action, including a few short car chases sprinkled throughout that are not exciting at the least, and instead the film's plot relies too much on the spitfire relationship between Molly and Leroy. Supporting cast also includes Cliff Emmich and Mary Woronov (in a bit role).
