It seemed like it was at this time that movies started to become really dated. It was unbelievably easy to figure out what decade this came out. There's tons of old slang that doesn't hold up well. I admit to being unfamiliar with the laws at this time. Is it really illegal to hitchhike? Well, that was decades ago. This film features two women being sent to become cotton pickers. Like literal cotton pickers. I have heard of that phrase (especially at this time) but never really saw it being used literally.
I guess that's a plus for the film. We get lots of scenes of random singing. It does kind of have some relevance later in the film. I still get the feeling that this thing is needlessly padded. For a mundane film, it had a pretty ridiculous plot. It also moved way too slow. The sounds and music became pretty annoying quickly. I didn't understand what was going on later in the film, because I didn't care enough to pay much attention. *1/2
