This film straddles the border between a B film and an A film. It's essentially a family film with adult themes. Considering the filth children are exposed to these days, this film is a walk in the park and is likely suitable viewing for those 11 years old and up.
The best part is that it's directed by the man who brought us The Legend Of Boggy Creek. For those of us old enough to remember, that movie was a cheesy, independent film that was a box office smash, long before Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity were even seedlings of ideas. It seems Mr. Pierce chose to reinvest his profits into what he wanted to be a higher form of entertainment and art; and he succeeded, for the most part.
The acting is led by veterans Elam and Nolan, both with around 30 years of experience at the time of filming. Dub Taylor is typecast, as usual. Mr. Prine, a fine actor in his own right, is given a less than meaty role. The remainder of the cast, I'd never heard of.
Nice cinematography. Wonderful music score. Good costuming. Decent script. Questionable dialogue at times.
And get this: the non-speaking roles of the girls in the brothel were provided by "Playboy, Inc.", according to the end credits. Playboy models! Whodathunkit?
