slaytonf Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 It is called Intruder in the Dust, a particularly fine film based on a William Faulkner short story. It stars Juano Hernandez, in his best role, and Claude Jarman, Jr., and was directed by Clarence Brown: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/1567/Intruder-in-the-Dust/ It's on January, 20th, by the way. The old lady was played by Elizabeth Patterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
