Ode to Billy Joe (1976)
Not such a terrible film

This comment is provoked by one made earlier by someone who seemed to feel the film unsalvageable. It might not be a masterpiece, or even particularly memorable, but this Southern boy had little trouble identifying with a boy trying to cope with his deepening feelings for a lovely young lady in the arch-conservative South, and of the young lady whose family opposed the union with the appalling callous intolerance and ignorance that seems epidemic in deep rural South. It's worth the rental fee if you find it at the video store.
