Amazon.com essential video:
The preeminent moonshine movie, the 1958 Thunder Road stars Robert Mitchum as a backwoods bootlegger in Tennessee, getting squeezed by both the federal government and organized crime. Mitchum had a big hand in creating this cult favorite (which reportedly played in drive-ins around America for years), writing the script, producing the movie, and even composing and singing the movie's theme song, which became a radio hit. Directed by longtime cinematographer Arthur Ripley, the film is strong on characters and action, the latter fulfilled by a memorable chase scene at the end. Mitchum was at an artistic peak at this point in his career, and this is really an indispensable movie for his fans. --Tom Keogh

I was real pleased to get the dvd on time and not damaged. That dvd is a classic. I grew up and could relate to it, because of my father

Someone once labeled this film "hillybilly film noir." I think that's a great description of this movie. This is about the good 'ole boys racing their souped-up 1950s Fords around country roads, running moonshine and trying to evade both cops and gangsters.
In fact, I wish they had more of those chase scenes because, even with primitive special-effects, they were fun to watch. The ending chase would have been longer, if I had my way.
Mitchum is fun to watch in here, too. He ... Read More
