Thunder in Dixie

"Thunder In Dixie" represents a great triumph in the American film industry. To this date, no other film has come nearly as close to capturing the true meaning of the human spirit and what we as human beings have to offer the world. The acting is superb, as Harry Millard brilliantly captures Mickey Arnold's struggle to come to grips with the reality that Lillie Arnold (Judy Lewis) and Ticker Welsh (Mike Bradford) aren't the people he once thought they were. However, the film will be remembered most for Richard Kuss' brief, but unforgettable appearance as the hilariously comical Link Duggan; allowing the film to have shining moments of comedy in the midst of its darkly dramatic storyline. I truly believe that this is the greatest movie of all time, and will be remembered as such for generations to come.

Thunder in Dixie is truly a movie for movie lovers. William Naud's greatest film to date, this movie captures the true essence of humanity and examines the human soul, using the guise of a simple racing movie. The story is as follows: Mickey Arnold, played by Harry Millard, realizes that he has been betrayed by his best friend Ticker Welsh, brilliantly portrayed by Mike Bradford, and his wife, Lillie Arnold (Judy Lewis). What follows is an amazing struggle between Arnold and Welsh, climaxing with a test of Arnold's value as a man at a local derby.

Harry Millard's acting in this movie is phenomenal. After seeing Millard portray Arnold, I was shocked to find that it was his last film before his death. He certainly would have done a far better job than Steve McQueen in Bullitt. It is a great loss to the movie industry that such an amazing actor lost his life at such a young age. Throughout the movie, I cried for Mickey Arnold as his world shattered around him, my heart warmed when he triumphed, and I cheered him on during the final scene.

If you have not seen this movie yet, you are truly missing out on one of the greatest movies of our time.
