DVD Review: The Devil To Pay in the South.
Summary: 3 Stars
Life was good in the Fifties. This is a down side to the musical, "Grease," but it is based in Alabama at Randolph University, about a group of soroity girls having a good time. They used original records for the background and there was a good Elvis imitator doing 'Blue Suede Shoes' who lip sinc-ed the song. The girls looked so young that, at first, I thought they were high school kids. The wide green plastic belt was a little much, not 50s.
When they gathered in their meeting room to discuss the Honeysuckle Ball, it was a scene right out of my past as we used to be called for an evening with the dorm mother at Tennessee Hall girls' dorm in Pulaski. Their contestant won as the Honeysucle Queen, a blonde Kim Novak clone. The boys at the dance were dressed in gray uniforms as Confederate soldiers, and the beloved flag was in evidence. The Queen, though blondes are not noted for their intelligence, had a good quote: "If you betray that which you say you love, you betray yourself." The students were polite and uninvolved, with Southern gentility.
The dark-haired girl journalist fell hard for the UP photographer (he was a young George Nader) who influenced her articles, like I did my deejay. Funny thing is, I had another who played 'Good Night, Sweetheart' for me every midnight and took me out in his new motorboat as we traveled in his new car, who was proud of me as I was; neither tried to change me. We went for coffee at mignight before I left for college the next morning. Both accepted me as platonically but I loved B. Ross and not B. Brown, Her blonde boyfriend was a loser and was no match for a strong, independent Southern non-belle. It was more than a disagreement, and she felt that there's nothing left to fix.
She went over to the wrong side of the tracks for her article ("This is really good, wish I had written it.") and was advised that "This ain't your business", but it's still going on. At a bus meeting, I was informed that "we have not overcome" some sixty years later. That was news to me; they are the ones with attitude, chips on their shoulders since the LBJ legacy of the Sixties. Before that, they knew their place. They pray to Martin Luther King, Jr. (who had urged them to boycott the buses) and the Jesus of Egypt, not the one in Heaven. You ain't seen nothing yet.
At the corner of Magnolia and Tulip Streets there in Montgomery (like East Knoxville), the civil rights were forced. How can anything good be forced. Randolph became a battlefield, all for one unwanted student, LBJ's stupidity and ignorance created a monster. You have power to set the right expectations. Leave old anger behind you. Forgive and even if you don't quite forget. James Garfield said, "If there is one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man, -- it is the man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil."
It was a happy ending with "You go get 'em, girl!" as the journalist leaves that school for New York after she refused to apologize to one of the teachers. That almost happened to me at Central High. She had no choice as she was falsely determined to be other than she was. "I'll never forget you, I Swear I never will" she hears from the Prom Queen to whom she bequeathed her former boyfriend. No, this was no Harper Lee who "killed a mockingbird."
