A vintage Danish movie poster of ''The Southerner'', a 1945 American drama film directed by Jean Renoir. It is based on the 1941 novel "Hold Autumn in Your Hand" by George Sessions Perry. The film is known for its realistic portrayal of the struggles of a poor Texas farming family during the Great Depression.
The story revolves around the Tucker family, who are sharecroppers in the rural South. Sam Tucker, played by Zachary Scott, is determined to break away from the harsh conditions of working for a landlord and dreams of owning his own land to farm independently. With the support of his wife Nona (Betty Field), their children, and some close friends, Sam decides to take a chance and lease a piece of land to start his own farm.
However, the Tuckers face numerous challenges and hardships along the way, including natural disasters like floods and droughts, as well as the skepticism and hostility of some of their neighbors. Despite these difficulties, the family perseveres, demonstrating resilience and determination as they work tirelessly to make their dream of self-sufficiency come true.
"The Southerner" is celebrated for its evocative cinematography by Lucien Andriot, which captures the beauty of the American countryside and the struggles of the Tucker family in vivid detail. The film also explores themes of family, community, and the American Dream, while shedding light on the difficult lives of sharecroppers in the South during a challenging period in American history.
The film received critical acclaim upon its release and was nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Director for Jean Renoir. It remains a notable entry in the genre of American social realist cinema and is remembered for its poignant portrayal of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
