The movie recreated the terrain very well. <br /><br />Inside the York house, the park ranger on hand was York's youngest son. Another son happened to come by and I talked with both of them. <br /><br />Yes, rural Tennesseans really were (are) like that. <br /><br />The 1979 All Quiet is very good, about the best TV war film ever. Many people like it better than the earlier one due to it being in color, and with modern acting style. David In TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749838323613927456noreply@blogger.com
