My name is William. I was an extra in this movie during the filming in Porterville, CA. It was at the old drive in movie theater in which I lived only four houses down from. Somehow or another I acquired a prop from that movie. It was a bottle of Lone Star beer in which of course it was empty to begin with. Anyway the filming lasted until bout 2:00 in the morning and if I can remember correctly, that was the last night they filmed in Porterville. I had a great time and the next morning I headed up to Sacramento to enlist into the Navy. I didn't get the chance to see the movie when it released on the USA network, which I think it was only shown once, but I have been trying to locate a copy of this movie for 4 years now. If I recall, I may have been shown in that movie for a brief moment during the filming. It was while everyone was dancing to the music that the band was playing up on the stage. If anyone has any info on this movie as to where I can find a copy, please e mail me. It would be really cool to speak with Max Myers himself but I'm sure that's next to impossible. Thanks wilthethril2000@yahoo.com

excellent movie that draws U in ...and doesn't let GO !

Great Mix of emotions, believable characters, family in dysfunction ,facing LIFE and GUILT, youth growing into adulthood, and period pieces (harkening back to the emergence of Rock & and Roll, and specifically here--> Rockabilly ! ... an underrated unique American invention ( i.e. see Ken Burn's Jazz docuementary)). Director Max Myers & cast have truly made a must-see epic, that renders one so involved with the film, u become one with those and that being portrayed. A timely film, hitting on emotional chords in these times of patriotic and homespun yearnings. I personnaly viewed it at it's NY premiere @ the Stony Brook Film festival. The crowd reaction following the movie and my personal talk with writer & director Max Myers, at a reception the following day cemented my opinion on this film and the extrodinary , yet humble and exacting efforts of all involved. See it for yourself ! U as an American and film connisuer owe it ... to yourself!
