Dennis Nyback Presents Vintage American Slices of Myth and Reality

Hillbillies in Hollywood

USA1963 100min 16mm B&W

Synopsis

Americans have a fixed idea about the hillbillies: They don't go to school, they live in wooden houses without proper supply of water, and they intermarry. They brew illegal whiskeys, they are enemies with their neighbors. They love to beat their wives, and almost always they are drunk. This program shows images of Hillbillies as short musicals from 1928 to 1963.
