Bootleggers (1974)
5/10
Nice physical detail but not much action, this won't be everybody's cup of moonshine.

Nice rural photography and a pretty bluegrass score are the highlights of this slow moving drama with moments of comedy about a feud between bootlegging families and how one of the family's secret revenge when their patriarch is murdered by the other.

Paul Koslo and Dennis Fimple play the cousin heirs to the bootlegging estate, left to them by grandfather Slim Pickens who explains in an early scene to one of them as a child how the business began because the land wasn't proper for raising crops.

A young Jaclyn Smith will be the calling card for most people interested in this, and she's quite enjoyable to watch several years before "Charlie's Angels". Coslo and Fimple discover her while she's with a friend skinny dipping, and they underestimate her small stature, finding her quite formidable. Rather lengthy, this really needed more work done in the editing room.
