Sam soon rushes back after delivering his cotton, and Nona informs him that his uncle "isn't doin' too good." They give the old guy water, and urge him to hold on, but with his dying breath he tells his young relatives, ".grow your own crop." This advice Sam truly takes to heart, and soon asks his sympathetic boss to let him farm a piece of land on a kind of rent-to-own deal. Nona Tucker stays with the old man as he languishes in the fields, flies buzzing around him as he sweats and wheezes. Sam takes his uncle's load of cotton, telling him that he'll finish his row. Suddenly an elder member of the family falters and he is quickly aided by his nephew and his wife, Sam and Nona. We are introduced to them as they pluck cotton beneath the burning sun, hauling huge sacks stuffed with the crop. They represent the best of America's hard-working poor, with Sam and Nona truly being dedicated to each other and their family. They are accompanied by Beulah Bondi's ornery Granny Tucker, two small children and a frisky little dog. The family is led by Sam, played by Zachary Scott, accompanied by his lovely wife Nona played by Betty Field. It involves the Tucker family, a hard-working but poor clan who toil in the cotton fields as day workers.
It's truly a forgotten gem from this great director.
