Thunder in Dixie

Thunder in Dixie is truly a movie for movie lovers. William Naud's greatest film to date, this movie captures the true essence of humanity and examines the human soul, using the guise of a simple racing movie. The story is as follows: Mickey Arnold, played by Harry Millard, realizes that he has been betrayed by his best friend Ticker Welsh, brilliantly portrayed by Mike Bradford, and his wife, Lillie Arnold (Judy Lewis). What follows is an amazing struggle between Arnold and Welsh, climaxing with a test of Arnold's value as a man at a local derby.

Harry Millard's acting in this movie is phenomenal. After seeing Millard portray Arnold, I was shocked to find that it was his last film before his death. He certainly would have done a far better job than Steve McQueen in Bullitt. It is a great loss to the movie industry that such an amazing actor lost his life at such a young age. Throughout the movie, I cried for Mickey Arnold as his world shattered around him, my heart warmed when he triumphed, and I cheered him on during the final scene.

If you have not seen this movie yet, you are truly missing out on one of the greatest movies of our time.
