John Ford's Tobacco Road

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews

With no money to buy seed, Jeeter Lester has planted no crops for seven years, and he and his family are barely eking out an existence. But with the same spirit as the Joad family in The Grapes of Wrath they never give up hope and never lose their sense of humour.
(This Week's Films: page 9)
