Thread Name: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
Subject: RE: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
I just saw an interesting film last night that Horton Foote adapted from a story by William Faulkner, "Tomorrow." It starred Robert DuVal and the soundtrack was totally based on trad music. It was set in Missippi in the early 1930's. A sad but excellent movie.

"So Dear to My Heart," made in the 1940s also had lots of folk songs on the soundtrack, including, I believe, "Laverder's Blue."
