This movie appeared, at first, to be something that would turn out to be
more interesting than it was.Taking place in the '50's in Louisiana, it
sold out far too frequently to the expectations today's audience.The
music
was not authentic for its time, and there was way too much of it.The
dialog was stilted---everyone speaking acting-school English, and the
efforts by some actors to mix English with Cajun-French was very
self-conscious.There was just no natural flow to the
language.
A few of the actors were very well-cast and captured the spirit of the
thing, and the sets and scenery were pretty good.Having lived in
Louisiana
in the 50's, I actually relived the scent of the place a few times, but
such
reveries were infrequent.
I didn't stay around for the whole thing, so the plot may have redeemed
something by the end, but as I tuned out to watch a higher priority on
cable), "Ruby" was just revealing itself as another of those films about
homosexuality, and I have no idea how far that went.
If you're an old car buff, though, there were some nice DeSotos and Hudsons
and Packards.With authentic Louisiana license plates from
1956.
