Quote:
Perfecting his good ol’ boy screen persona, Burt Reynolds makes a mighty fine southern hero in 1973’s “White Lightning,” a roughhouse revenge picture that makes the most out of its star’s mischievous charms and Arkansas locations. Directed by Joseph Sargent and scripted by William Norton, “White Lightning” doesn’t sustain its excitability, but the first hour packs quite a punch, setting up a suitably enraged story that gives Reynolds plenty to work with as the movie unleashes all sorts of car chases and collisions of masculinity.

Reynolds is out front, often shirtless and smirking, but the real star of “White Lightning” is second-unit director Hal Needham. The stuntman and future Reynolds co-conspirator, Needham stages a handful of rip-roaring car chases to spice up the movie, tearing through town streets and rural roads to depict Gator’s master plan of vengeance and humiliation, even periodically taking to the air as automobiles are launched skyward, only occasionally sticking their landing. It’s a welcome surge of smashmouth intensity, coupled with Reynolds’s machismo and the screenplay’s determination to turn the lead character into a backwoods James Bond, watching Gator charm the ladies and pummel his adversaries.

The post Joseph Sargent – White Lightning (1973) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This two-part TV movie was, of course, sparked by the November 1978 mass suicide of 913 people at the South American religious “colony” of Jonestown. The catalyst for this tragedy was cult-leader Reverend Jim Jones (played by Powers Boothe, who won an Emmy for his performance), head of the so-called People’s Temple. The film traces the life of Jones from his days as an idealistic 1960s activist. He drifts into penny-ante confidence scams and bed-hops from woman to woman, before electing to pass himself off as a modern messiah–eventually believing his own feverish sermons. The climactic scenes are chillingly staged in a near-documentary fashion, with Puerto Rico and Georgia substituting for Guyana. Ned Beatty plays the ill-fated Representative Leo Ryan, while James Earl Jones has a cameo as 1930s religious-leader Father Divine; most of the other main characters are composites of real people. Originally broadcast April 15 and 16, 1980, The Guyana Tragedy was adapted by Ernest Tidyman from the Washington Post and Charles A. Krause’s Guyana Massacre: An Eyewitness Account.
