Talk:The Shepherd of the Hills (1941 film)

Differences from the novel
"Although a good representation of the Ozarks area several decades ago ..." It's not a good representation of the Ozarks area at all. The scenery in the film is obviously California. The characters are typical hillbilly stereotypes, not representative of any Ozarkers I know. It's the same kind of stereotypes that are cultivated in Branson to give the area some cultural color. However, it's all fiction. The hillbillies depicted in that film do not exist. Probably never did. 75.88.49.162 (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The opening chapter in the novel attempts to characterize the Ozark dialect as one where war is used for was, law is used for Lord, and to house is used for at home. Other writers have employed the same stylized lingo to portray the language spoken there.   Is this an accurate representation of the dialect spoken in 1890?   216.99.201.237 (talk) 19:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

3D Slides
During the film's shoot, a number of stereoptic pictures were taken of the actors on the set. Do any of these 3D pictures have any value as memorabilia? 216.99.201.237 (talk) 20:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
