I know, its one of mine to. only because of the characters. One or two personally

Lady Chablis stole the show

That was Clint Eastwood’s daughter singing, I thought.

@@nativevirginian8344 I thought it was Rosemary Clooney's famous recording of the song.

Love that 😂

Yes we do don't we. Thats what makes living in Savannah so great.

True. I have lived in Savannah all my life and know a lot of the characters from the book but I was offended by the movie portrayal of some people. Luther Driggers was portrayed as crazy and with flies circling him and that is so silly. That was not like him - not even a little bit. The gentleman who walked the invisible dog did walk a dead dog but he never used that joke of a leash. I guess the moviemakers thought we were too stupid to understand what he was doing without that.

A true story

Yoi are correct, the visuals in the movie are outstanding. Are uou talking about the cemetery where she did the midnight speaking with her dead husband? That was very Edgar Allen Poe. However the actual cemetery as it turns out was not so much Poe-ish. Once I found the actual grave of her husband its no where near as spooky. I will link the video where I went looking for their graves for you.

I have been so inactive on the channel for almost 2 years now. But I am about to go full bore with it. So hang on there is more to come.

The book was great but "Hollywood" didn't, and probably couldn't, do it justice. After watching the movie I suspected that the script writer was given a copy of the book but said that he didn't need the book because he would makeup his own story. It seemed like an attempt to make Clint Eastwood's daughter famous rather than make a movie.

Everybody know who she was. Might as well use the time to concentrate on the other people and characters.

Thank you for taking the time to watch. And for subscribing. I was just on youtube watching some DIY stuff and saw you subscribe so, once again My1925world, Thank you. Next weeks video is on Minerva the Hoodoo Root lady. hope you like it too.

Nancy also wrote an interesting book about the movie.

@@dotti2928 and it starts out really good and she really slams John Berendt.

Your welcome. I actually have a lot of fun running all of these things down. I am glad you enjoyed.

Oh I totally agree about there should be a movie about her. I personally dont agree about what she did but that's not for me to judge. She took criticism on the chin and felt with it. And led the pack for others. That's called being strong.

@@KeepingHistoryontwowheels Read her autobiography and you WILL agree about what she did with her life. It's quite an amazing story of survival against all odds, and unwavering triumph through tragedy after tragedy. And, on top of all that, she was The Doll!

Thank you Mike. You know we segwayed this video into one about Minerva and then seqwayed that into one about the Gullagechee people of the low country. You might like those too. Thanks for watching and for reaching out.

Bar Nelo, thank you very much. Super glad you found us. We have been taking a break from filming the last month but that because we are working on a dual project that will be going along side of this channel. So hang tight. Things are about to get good.

Well I am glad you watched. Did you check out Danny's Grave? Or any other stuff?

@@KeepingHistoryontwowheels no we visited historical Savannah. I did hear they have a tour just about the murder. Next time we visit, I will definitely take that tour. The Mercer House tour was about the art Jim Williams collected. The only time the murder was mentioned was when we were in the room that Danny was murdered in. Unfortunately they didn’t allow pictures! I was at a park speaking to someone about the tour. As my husband and I were leaving, Jerry Spence said he overheard me speaking about the movie. He introduced himself as the only survivor of the story. He said he was in the movie as the hairdresser during the scene with Allison Eastwood. I recognized him immediately. Of course it’s been over 20 years but his voice hasn’t changed and I recognized the eyes. When we returned to our room I googled him. I found out he is homeless now.

Yeah and been in jail too. Sad. But in Savannah , you ain't from here if you haven't been at least once hahahahaha

Yes, that is correct. Jerry is not well, but he is still alive and often times seen in the squares.

@@loriwelch9015 homeless? Oh no.

It is said Serena was based on Helen Drexel, who passed away in the 1970s so Berendt was manipulating the chronology. Which also meant he never met her and whatever written about her came from people who knew her. This would mean Drexel would’ve been on those cigarette ads that Dawes posed for. I wonder if any still exists to verify this.

I think for the times, it was a low budget film.

Your about right. The only thing that changes is time.

It's regurgitated from Wikipedia, but it's nice to hear it explained.

Sonny Seiler played the part of the judge in the court scenes.

She was going to get her own video. But I I blend video subjects from one video into the next. And I couldn't make it fit right

It could’ve been a pic of Kevin Spacey. He really embodied Williams in the movie.

Thank you ma'am. Hahaha we change those intros up every season. Yeah, they are a bit extra

To be honest with you. When doing this video I forgot all about Lady Chablis. My mind was already on the next video about Minerva.

Thank you Don.

Thank you!! Drives me goofy when I hear him say it!

This was as the title said, more about the individual characters. Thank you for watching and have a great day.

@@KeepingHistoryontwowheels I did re-watch the movie and learned where/how the novel differed from the reality you explained.

@@jerzbouy1 good

Skip em

What ads are they.

@@KeepingHistoryontwowheels I think you know what false ad's

Mr. Clark regrrtfully I can't do anything about the ads they sell to put on here. I don't know what ads they might be. I would imagine right now that they are political ads. If I am in channel manager portion ads don't show up. If I don't sign in and go to the page the ads are different everytime you watch the video.
