      [last lines]

      Peejoe: I learned a lot of secrets that summer: you can bury freedom but you can't kill it. Taylor Jackson died for freedom. Aunt Lucille had to kill to get it. Life and death are only temporary but freedom goes on forever.

    Crazy about Melanie Griffith

    I loved this film.

    I am not normally a fan of Melanie Griffith, but she is superb as the Southern Belle, Lucille.

    Antonio Banderas does a brilliant job behind the camera, telling two stories both about the difference between Justice and what is Just.

    Rod Steiger is superb in his cameo role as the judge.
