IMDb profile

Hurry Sundown is a 1967 film starring Michael Caine, Jane Fonda, Diahann Carroll, Burgess Meredith, Robert Reed, Jim Backus, John Phillip Law, and Faye Dunaway. The film is directed by Otto Preminger.

Set in rural Georgia in the days just after World War II, a black and a white farmer team up to irrigate their fields and escape the crushing poverty that their families live under. This will cause problems for the plans of a rich landowner who will try using family, law, and even his retarded son in order to stop them.

A clip from this film was used to represent a younger Michael Caine as the character Nigel Powers in the movie Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Set in Georgia, but filmed in Louisiana. The Ku Klux Klan slashed the film crew's tires.

This movie has garnered a reputation as one of Otto Preminger's most embarrassing films.

The courtroom scene features several cast members from TV shows: Burgess Meredith (Penguin on Batman) as the judge, Robert Reed (the Brady Bunch father) as the prosecuting attorney, Jim Backus (Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island) as the defense attorney, and Madeline Sherwood (Reverend Mother on The Flying Nun) as the judge's wife.
