A REVIEW
By JERRY CALABRESE
Staff Writer
Columbia was the scene of a
world premiere last Thursday as
"The Road Hustlers," first feature
motion picture made in South Car
olina, o p e n e d at the Palmetto
Theatre.
"Road Hustlers" is by any
standards a low budget film, but
its technical aspects are at most
times very professional.
Jim Davis, formerly of television
series "Rescue 8," does a fine job
portraying a Lexington-Richland
County bootlegger, Noah Reedy,
who with the aid of his three sons
produces the area's best moonshine.
Reedy is pictured as a modern

day Ben Cartright, who w o u I d
rather die than betray his pride
and family name.
S c o t t Brady, veteran of 100
films, should have quit at 99. His
portrayal of a syndicate boss, try
ing to drive good-guy Reedy into
his syndicate or out of business, is,
to say the least, inadequate.
Brady - with his constant cigar
chewing and Yankee accent-seems
to better fit a 1930's spoof on a
New York mob. And his mob is a
bunch of bunglers rather than a
mean, nasty syndicate.
Federal agents, Yong a source of
frustration to the moonshiner, are
inserted more for comic relief than
any practical purpose.
The third big name in the movie
Andy Devine, gives his usual fine
portrayal of a fat old man dis
pensing advice to all who will listen
and those who won't as well.
Sue Rainy, as the female in the
life of Pa Reedy's oldest son, makes
one enduring appearance in which
she sings. This scene, or at leasi
her vocal rendition, is undoubtedl3
the high point of this low-flying
vehicle.
The picture, for what it is--a
low-budget movie--was a good try
for native South Carolina producel
Robert Newsome. The action ii
good, with excellent chase scene2
around and in Lake Murray.
"Road Hustlers" holds up ver)

then, like most twvo-dollar long
shots, it dIraws up lame.
The co nsat a nt overplaying o:
Brady andl the syndicate, whici
seems more like Spanky and Ou:
Gang, and the improbability of the
plot finally take their toll. "Thu
Road Hustlers," bruised but no
broken for three-quarters of th<
wvay, finally comes apart at th<
seams.
As the climax begins, the events
improbable before, become impossi
ble.
Syndicate boss Brady is contin
ually stymied by the swamp-fo
antics of Reedy and clan, as th4

forces of evil are defeated by forces
merely illegal.
As expected, the Reedy c l a n
makes out just fine while the syn
dicate is ingeniously outwitted.
Peace is restored and Reedy moon
shine remains in its exalted posi
tion.
The film mercifully concludes
with federal men vowing to get
Reedy someday, although they ob
viously like him. Scott Brady is
sent hamming his way back to the
big city, and Andy Devine is left
sitting admiringly at the feet of
his secret hero, Noah Reedy.
Despite the complete breakdown
at the conclusion and the obvious
overdoing in spots, "Road Hustlers"
is a somewhat enjoyable picture
if only for the shots of Richland
and Lexington counties.
"Road Hustlers," which w o u 1 d
have had to be a social documentary
with a cast of thousands to live up
to the overplayed "World Pre

better received in its own backyard
