Title: To See the Background Scenes
Review: Of our special interest was "Little Laura and Big John" which was loosely based on the famous 'Ashley Gang' of eastern Florida from about 1912 to 1924. The filming for the movie was in Stuart, FL, our hometown. We were watching for the background scenes / locations and also for any local extras we knew.Having done a great deal of historical research on the Ashley Gang and especially when they died on Nov. 1, 1924 at the Sebastian Bridge by the 7-man Sheriff' posse ... there was a great deal of 'liberty' taken by the screen writer and director int he story they told. So, don't believe everything you see about the Ashley Gang and especially about Laura Upthegrove and John Ashley (as children). Too bad the writer didn't stick with the actual facts -- those were so much more interesting than their 'story line'.The other problem we had was the editing of the film ... it just didn't flow well.
