Thunder Road
1958, United Artists [Park Circus]. 92 min. Dir. Arthur Ripley
High octane on a low budget! Robert Mitchum is a moonshiner who runs afoul of big-city gangsters and federal agents, and his real-life son, James, portrays the kid brother who wants in on the action. Mitchum’s most personal film – he wrote the story, co-produced the film, and co-wrote two of the film’s songs including “The Ballad of Thunder Road.”
