Country singer Clint Eastwood and his real life son, who portrays his nephew, go from Oklahoma and the dust bowl to Tennessee so that Clint can sing up a storm at the Grand Ole Opera.
Anyone see the resemblance in this film with "Midnight Cowboy?" Both major characters are trying to get somewhere to fulfill a dream while dying of tuberculosis.
The two guys are caught in this coming of age film for the nephew. The nephew part should have been made older since in certain scenes the boy looks just that- a young lad.
The adventures they are caught in speak for the times they live in. Clint is teaching his nephew how to be a hustler and the boy is a quick learner.
As time ran out for Ratso in "Midnight Cowboy," the end approaches for Clint just as he records some music. The boy and his new found lady love head off to the sunset, that is, California, the place where the boy's family has moved to. Will he join them? After all, after his adventures, he is no longer a boy now.
