Rating:  - Hillbillies or Cavemen?
As a hillbilly, I'm not offended by that term. I am offended by this movie, though. This collective group of hill people make the Beverly Hillbillies look like Albert Einsteins.
The production values and writing are poor. The plot is predictable and cheesey. Don't waste your time. Just turn on the Hallmark channel and watch a couple of episodes of Little House instead. They won't be quite as ridiculous, but they'll hit ya in the same place.
Rating: - A wonderful potrayal of life in the Appalachians
What begins as what seems to be a fish out of water story becomes a tale of tolerance for others and the acceptance of that which we cannot change.
Dr. Meg Laurel (portrayed by Lindsey Wagner) was once one of them, an Appalachian mountains resident (my mother being of the same heritage was never a hillbilly so I resent calling them that) who suffered at the hands of a "healer" while a small child.
Fast forward to Dr. Meg as a medical doctor now living in Boston suffering ... Read More
Rating:  - A Great Family Film
This picture hit the theaters on January 2 1979 starring the lovely Lindsay Wagner as Doctor Meg Laurel, Jane Wyman as Granny Arrowroot and Andrew Duggan as Judge Adamson. The picture starts out with the producers taking us back in time when Meg was a little girl. Meg was sick and a woman looking like a witch is cutting her arm. Meg wakes up screaming because of her having another nightmare. Meg is now a doctor living in Boston Massachusetts in 1932 and is married to Dr Tom Laurel. The next day while ... Read More
Rating: - A Must Have Video For Your Movie Collection
If you are a Lindsay Wagner fan then this movie is a must. If your not a Wagner fan then this movie is still for you. The story is very good, showing how herbal treatments and medicene does not have to be foes against each other. Powerful performances by Wagner, Wyman and Woods. This movie was well worth the money and is one I will watch over and over. You will not waste your money and/or time on this movie...order it today.
Rating: - This movie will steal your heart away.
Beautiful scenery - the epitomy of dedication - Lindsey Wagoner is outstanding as a young doctor who goes back to the "hills" to bring modern medicine to the "hill" people who "don't take to outsiders." Jane Wyman as the "Granny doctor" is wonderful. James Wood as the "sin-eater" is spell-binding. This movie gives a wonderful glimpse of life in the "back woods." Heart-wrenching at times. A true classic. Get your "hankie." If you watch it, it will steal your heart away. It's one you won't forget.......
