Bad Georgia Road (1977)

A very amiable tale of moon shine running and culture shocks.

Bored New Yorker Molly (Carol Lynley) finds she has inherited a farm from a distant relative in Alabama. When she gets there she finds her fantasies of a fancy farmstead are a bit off base as her farm is very run down and the only thing that makes money is the moon shine still. 

Leroy (Gary Lockwood) takes the illegal booze to customers in his hot rod and he immediately takes a dislike to Molly, though you know that won't last long...

This is a fun film although not very original. The culture shock of the NY city slicker ending up in the middle of nowhere is amusing, though the best parts of the film are the various car chases between Leroy and the law.
