A perennial TV actor and evidently a buddy of Ted Cassidy, he had directed two films prior to POOR PRETTY EDDIE (which I have not seen) called CHARCOAL BLACK and THUNDER COUNTY, which starred respectable actors (including Cassidy in both) and were marketed as hick/prison/blaxploitation flicks. I can't find much info on them or many people who have even seen them, but I have to imagine that they, too, surpass their B or even C-movie trappings.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-76998205271567468952010-03-31T09:10:36.322-04:002010-03-31T09:10:36.322-04:00This sounds like a serious F'ed up film!

Reading about these kind of films really makes me wonder how the hell things like this ever get made?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
