Ode to Billy Joe


I just recently seen this movie on CMT and I fell in love with it! I know this sounds wrong, but, I think Robby was FINE in this movie! I know he's married with kids, but I thought he was around 14 when I saw this! I had no clue this was made in 1976!!!

Couldn't agree more!!! I just saw this for the first time a few weeks ago on cmt as well and developled a HUGE crush on him. What a fox! He did look so much younger than he actually was. I had no idea he did the voice of "Beast" in beauty and the beast. Found his homepage and he even has albums out. wow!

This is a movie I wanna own. His character in Ode to Billy Joe is just hilarious at times. Like when he tells her he is coming calling this afternoon and demanding she have ice tea waiting was great. The character just had a great sense of humor and they couldn't have cast a better actor for the part.

I saw this movie on the big screen and those blue blue eyes when he looks at her father in the truck are stunning. That's the scene I remember most from this film.

Why ain't you at the garden party you heathen?

I was just singing the song about the movie in my head... it is one that I can't get out of my head! As I listen to the song, I am seeing scenes from the movie... It has been years since I saw the movie, now I'm going to have to go find it!

I always thought the ending was SO tragic. Not just because of what happens to Billy but just the way her brother speaks to her and refers to her as "girl" and makes remarks about rumors about her being pregnant with Billy's child and acting disgusted and pretty much saying she will be disowned. It's just horrible.

That was a great song and a very good movie.
