Last night for some reason, insomnia kicked in and I couldn't sleep. After searching every station on tv, with the huge selection of channels, :rolleyes: there was absolutely nothing that appealed to me, so I went with "The Ode To Billy Joe". Those who are in my age group, might remember the 1967 hit song by Bobbi Gentry, for which this movie was based. Never have been a C&W fan, and I absolutely hated that song when it came out, but as years go by, it's not that bad I guess.
Anyway, the only star I knew was Robby Benson (Billy Joe). I think the movie came out in 1976, and as I recall was far from a box office hit.
Anyway, it actually wasn't too bad, and seemed to follow the song I guess. Now I know why "Billy Joe McCallistser jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
