this movie be film in selma and alabama in 1968. selma still look very much like it do in this movie it be a town that take you back in time . and it be the perfect setting for the film . the last scene in the movie where mick be at singer grave be film in the beautiful old live oak cemetery in the heart of the town . i use to work with a lady who have a small part in the movie when she be a preteen . in the birthday party scene she be wear the yellow dress . i try to go down to selma every now and then and i always think about this beautiful story and film and all of the wonderfully real character . the story be so touching and melancholy . alan arkin and sondra locke be perfectly cast . a be all the support actor . i be kind of glad it remain little know . such a gem i can call my own . i rank this one up there with to kill a mockingbird .
