He drove me by some of the filming locations. Some of the driving sequences were on the main road to the airport, which, like a lot of places there, wound through all the trees. <br />Thanks for all the amazing movie background info! I always wondered how Keely Smith got to be in the film.Waynesvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-11609851136152700042010-04-16T14:08:08.713-04:002010-04-16T14:08:08.713-04:00KC - I have a post about his son coming up complet...KC - I have a post about his son coming up complete with pictures.<br /><br />Kelley - Cool!

There is even a dirt road out in the country called "Thunder Road" where they used to put up shop out of the trunks of their cars.<br />Thanks for the post!Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06895305154290771752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-41358608237971668682010-04-15T08:59:02.409-04:002010-04-15T08:59:02.409-04:00It's been a long time since I've seen this...It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, so I don't remember it well, but I do remember getting the giggles the first time Mitchum's son appeared.
