Finished the Cheers list:

Excellent film about a family of sharecroppers who just barely get by, but when the father is sentanced to a labor camp for stealing food the rest of the family must come together and the son must go on a journey of self discovery and enlightenment in an attempt to discover where his father has been sent to. The father returns home early due to a dynamite accident at the labor camp and the son must then set aside his desires to stay with his family and go on without them to get the education that will allow him to escape the vicious cycle of sharecropping. Fantastic performances, wonderful cinematography and a pitch perfect script. A fine film indeed and a triumph that it was nominated for Best Picture.

Superb score and incredible comedy make this a wonderfully fun film to watch. All sorts of double crossings mistaken identities and extended Clouseau gags that are simply brilliant and hysterical. as fresh today as it was back in the day. Great great film I look forward to seeing again, hopefully with an audience.
