A roguish country-western musician, he has just been invited to audition for the Grand Ole Opry, his chance of a lifetime to become a success. However, this is way back in Nashville, Red clearly drives terribly, and he's broke and sick with tuberculosis to boot. Whit, 14, seeing his own chance of a lifetime to avoid ""growing up to be a cotton picker all my life,"" begs Ma to let him go with Uncle Red as driver and protege. Thus begins a picaresque journey both hilarious and poignant UR - http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0084088/ ER -
