southern farm guy ends up in Hollywood sex romp

As of today, the vote count on Midnite Plowboy was sixty nine votes, placing it at "6" out of "10". I wanted to say something a little more positive about this movie. Sure, the plot and acting are just hideous, but the editing, sound, and picture quality were miles ahead of the others making similar type C grade flicks with unknown actors and low budgets. John Waters, Morrissey and Warhol, and Robert Downey Sr. had been making films with silly plots and bad acting for years now, and Buckalew used the theme of a Southern Hillbilly story (The Beverly Hillbillies were on TV in 1962, so even that idea wasn't really new) Lots of "simulated sex" and nudity by both males and females (mostly the good looking female prostitutes) in cars, fields, and living rooms, but there is just enough of a plot to keep the viewer interested. John Tull is a farm boy "Junior" who claims to be 19 but looks more like 29. Tull starred in a bunch of writer/director Bethel Buckalew's hillbilly films. Junior heads out west, and ends up living with some "working girls" in Los Angeles. Smooth sailing for a while, but then the owners of the brothel accidentally move in on the turf of the local hoods, and that's where they run into trouble. We follow along on Junior's adventure, and laugh as his southern drawl, complete with a stutter, comes and goes. Sure, it probably deserves that "6", but i'll give it a 7 just for the fun-factor and some funny lines. Fun to watch if you keep your expectations reasonable. This is part of a producer Harry Novak two-pack DVD, which also has Country Cuzzins. Distributed by Something Weird Video.
