There are quite a few Hollywood A stars such as Alan Alda,Richard Widmark, Patrick McGoohan,Will Geer,Harry Carey Jr., and Bo Hopkins but even this all star cast could not provide any razz matazz to this late, late night 1970 clunker. Some local southern townsfolk in Prohibition-era Kentucky survive on making bootleg booze which a federal agent decides he can take over the entire venture and make his fortune just by using the long arm of the law to his benefit.
If it sounds interesting and maybe the story did have some opportunity but this director, Richard Quine was unable to capitalize on it just like the Kentucky moonshiners of the Prohibition time. I found the entire film boring. the only appeal to me was the good looks and allure of the local sleezy hotel owner of 37 year old actress Melodie Johnson.
I can only give this clunker a 3 out of 10 IMDB rating, and if it happened to be made available again at a late night Drive-In triple bill, and/or on the late, late night archive films I would pass and hit the hay, as this film would certainly put me to sleep anyway.
