This is a 1979 movie but it's about the lives of some folks in rural Florida in the 20s - 1920s.
The director LOVES closeups - too much for my taste, but he certainly had the right actress for it in Dana Preu.
The story is slow, so do not watch if you want any action. It just isn't there. The only action is watching Matt (the woman) grow and change after she gets married to a rather unsavory character. I kept rooting for her to grow a pair!! (In between closeups.)
The Gal Young Un character was wonderful in her naivety.
The star of the film, for me, was Kitty. That cat was a BRILLIANT actor!! Holy Cow! I'd love to know how they got him to do what he did - which was being an absolutely cool cat. Kitty gave the film an extra star.
Again, this movie is a slow pace, like the south in summer. Watch it to see some interesting characters and to meet Mattie, Trax (BOO!!) and Elly. Oh, don't forget Kitty. You can't forget Kitty.
Enjoy, ya all.
