Storyline:We are only concerned with an effort to picturize these conditions.[Note: The derogatory term "Peckerwood" was possibly derived from its reversed form as ""woodpecker"" - referencing its red-headed and red-necked qualities - and implying that the enant farmers were ""rednecks"".The bowler-hatted carny opened the film with an enticement to eager patrons and customers (and the startled viewing audience), as he stood next to a rack of swords and a seated Sword-Swallower (Bill Unks, not Delmo Fritz) (with a ""Bearded Lady"" and ""Strong Man"" out of focus in the background).This RKO film, directed by John Cromwell, was mostly known because Bette Davis"" star-making, over-the-top, theatrical performance was passed over for a Best Actress Oscar nomination, although she was an unofficial write-in candidate.Suddenly, Krennic""s shuttle zoomed overhead and landed.Krennic exited his spacecraft, confronted captive scientist Galen, and called for an announcement to Galen""s entire group of engineers.
