In this exciting drama about bootlegging in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky, there was hardly any drama but very much wild action. Robert Mitchum portrayed a man back from the Korean war whose dad as well as he were involved in this illegal enterprise. Because of his running alcohol through the region, thus making the roads wild as thunder, all too often his car ended up in a body shop after the run. Although I've seen it more than once in my life time, and liked it, still it had little story to it. Gene Barry portrayed a federal agent after him and his cohorts. Barry portrayed his calm self, though brave, and Mitchum portrayed his calm, quiet, smileless self. Both did great action feats.
If you are excited about bootlegging, and like to see unequally wild action through rough country, then this drama will be just right for you.
