Storyline
Encompassing a span of almost 40 years, from 1925 to 1964, the narrative unfolds between two Texas farm boys: the earnest and upright Gid and the easygoing Johnny. They engage in a continuous rivalry for the affections of Molly Taylor, a beautiful and strong-willed woman who consistently rejects the idea of marrying either of them.

“A novel is both a story and a piece of writing. A movie is a story and a piece of filmmaking.”
