...I would want this movie. In my humble opinion this is one of the movie greats. I remember watching this as a 11-year old in 1979 on the Late Late Show and just marveling at it. The complex character of Mordecai Jones played by a brilliant George C Scott and the innocence of Curley (played by Michael Sarrazin) all set in the urgency of the 1950's South. I bought a used VHS copy on eBay and have just about worn it out in the 4 years I have had it and am waiting for it to come out on DVD. "Everybody has a little larceny in them..." is probably the best line in the movie and sets the pace for the rest of the movie, especially the run in with the cotton farmer played by Slim Pickens. It's in my Top 10.
