'Arnsby'
mentioned in a Movie!!!
One
day my father was watching a movie that he had taped on the
VCR and was surprised to hear the name 'Arnsby' spoken. He
replayed the scene again and again, he did indeed hear the
conversation correctly.
The
name of the movie is White Lightening.
The
movie opens with the murder of a young man and friend. The
young man is the younger brother of Burt Reynolds character,
Gator. At the time of his brothers murder, Burt is in prison.
He agrees to an early release from prison, supposedly to gain
evidence against some moonshiners.
Burt's
characater, Gator, is determined to find his brothers murderer.
In
THE scene, approximately 40 to 60 minutes into the movie,
Burt as Gator, enters a cafe/restaurant with the Bo Hopkins
and Jennifer Billingsley characters. There is a group of college
age people sitting around a table talking.
Gator
overhears their converstation and approaches. He asked if
any of them go to Arnsby College? |
