The Georgia Peaches

This unsold pilot for a possible TV series isn't exactly that bad, even if it's in the same vein of The Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit, but the three main leads are likable. Tanya Tucker and Terri Nunn are sisters who operate a auto garage in the rural south. Their best friend is Dusty Tyree (Dirk Benedict), a local moonshiner always making fools out of the local cops. However, they find themselves in hot water with local crime boss Vivian Stark (Sally Kirkland), who plants hot merchandise in their garage and take the fall for it. To avoid having their garage condemned and a lengthy prison sentence, the three go undercover with bumbling treasury agent Randolph Dukane (Lane Smith) to bust Stark's operation. The supporting cast is pretty solid for a TV movie: Noble Willingham as a wealthy playboy smitten with Nunn and Burton Gilliam and David Hayward as Stark's flunkies. There's enough car chase action to keep the viewer tuned in and Tucker performs a few songs, as well.

I saw this movie as a teen. I loved it. Very comical and musically

fun. Would love to see it again & again!!! If I could find it somewhere. I think my children would love enjoy it a lot. This movie really hit home for me in many different ways as an impressionable teen.

I remember this movie being filmed in the town I lived in back in 1980. I was in so love with Dirk Benedict and still vividly remember the day I spent on the set that day as a little girl taking in everything and every action.

The movie, sadly, was a complete disappointment. Dirk, Noble and Lane were the real actors. Everyone and everything else about the movie is very much forgettable.

I'll keep the memories and the photos from that day but I'd rather forget the movie.

This is one of my old favorite movies of all time. , I have to buy a new tape of this movie, because I have almost worn it out. One of the reasons I like this movies is of cause that Tanya Tucker play in this movie. She also play in another great TV movie: "Amateur night at the dixie bar & grill. (1979)

This is not a really great movie, but it's an appearance of Tanya Tucker the country singer and Dirk Benedict before he became famous as Faceman on The A-Team. Dirk plays Dusty Tyree, a moonshine running fool if there ever was one. He's also somewhat of a beekeeper. He has a '79-'81 Firebird set up to haul moonshine in a tank. He runs stop signs and does 180s and drives fast backwards and when he's about to get caught, he dumps the moonshine out and ignites it, like in The Last American Hero. But he gets caught somehow sometime, and the Feds have him and the two young women in this story at their mercy. The three have to go undercover for the ATF to break up illegal cigarette smuggling. Some good Tanya Tucker music in this movie.
