My first cousins Daughter was a member of Vestavia Hills for a while. Good people. Furr is a light in the state.
I coulda seen the movie with Furr as TOL was only in one theatre in the whole state and that for a week. It was near Furr's neighborhood. Somebody shoulda took Nick Saban to see it.
This Movie deserves the cathedral of the best Theatre you can find for a viewing. Maybe it will come back around Oscar time. I don't know as it is already on DVD. I rented from Blockbuster for 1.99 one day overnight package.

And the scene where the boys traipse into town and see all the misfits and misbegottens.
The church scene and home tour juxtaposed with the visit to the black community for BBQ speaks volumes of the Southern Church in the 50's. But then again this tea party inequality in many ways is worse.
