I Loved the movie Norwood...haven't seen it in years...you picked the best scenes, Glen sure knew how to kiss a lady and I love those wonderful songs ...thanks so much for sharing this!
Great film, my folks took me (and 2 brothers) to see it in 1970 at the Fox Theatre in Century City/Santa Monica. Like Glen in the film, my late date was a Korean era Marine veteran. Of course we'd watch his "Goodtime Hour" every week back then as well.
Glen dislikes this movie, he said it "perpetuated every stereotype of country musicians as hicks". Fans don't care I guess, as long as we get to see a lot of Glen and listen to him sing and play the guitar :-)
LeftEarofVanGogh So he didn't think that when he read the script? Only after it was in the can (or after it was a flop?) I think he was hoping for a hit and when it wasn't he made excuses. I thought it was good for what it was.
I love the way Tisha Sterling smells her feet -- ?to verify Glen's observation that they're rank? Wow, she has a mesmerizing voice. . . . Rather an unsexy line delivered by our country stud: Glen says, "My daddy always says there's nothing like a nice warm bath to make a woman feel giddy." To which Tisha could reply, "You mean this isn't hot enough for you, seconds from taking my dress off in front of you in the bath -- that you can't figure it out, but must conjure the teachings of dear ole Daddy?" . . . . Quite the time trip: Continental Trailways, Greyhound's competitor, always no. 2. . . . Glen has it backwards: He should have started with Kim Darby then moved up the desirability chain to the luminous, infinitely sexier Tisha. . . . He does sing nicely.
It's interesting how in the bus scene with the older lady that calls him a "chucklehead", that's 3 people from True Grit together. The older lady is Edith Atwater who played Mrs. Floyd, the boarding house owner.
This movie was from a book written by Clinton Portis, the same author who wrote True Grit. I guess they figured if true grit was a hit this might be one too but it's weird they had so many of the same cast

In Glen's book he said if the studio wanted True Grit (1969) they also had to make Norwood (1970) also.
Was this before or after True Grit?
After.
Anyone have the title song.
I have the soundtrack -- I bought it on iTunes.
