Critics are proclaiming THE SOUTHERNER as an "honest movie!” Time Magazine says it is worth a dozen of the usual Academy Award Winners! THE SOUTHERNER is honest because it has a real story to tell; because its characters live on the screen; because their emotions overflow from the screen into your heart! No love story has ever been more earthy than that of Sam and Nona —simple man and woman, fiercely in love. When Nona lights the first fire in their humble home... when Sam says "some day we’ll have our own bedroom”... those are hut two of many sensitive, thro hhing moments. No movie has depicted man’s struggle against human nature and the elements with more savage realism. A great booh has inspired great performances. There are laughs — hut this is no frivilous film; there is thrilling excitement, hut this is no cheap melodrama; there is romance hut this is no frothy love story. This is an HONEST movie! David L.
