Synopsis
Crazy in Alabama (1999) is a Southern tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Two stories unfold under a blazing sun: one races west toward Hollywood, the other stays home amid the racial hatred of the 1960s.
Lucille leaves her husband to chase an acting career, carrying a hatbox with a secret that would make any cop blanch. Back home, her young nephew Peter witnesses a killing that ties back to a crooked sheriff. Melanie Griffith plays Lucille with reckless glee, backed by David Morse, Lucas Black and Rod Steiger.
This is Antonio Banderas' directorial debut, adapted from Mark Childress' novel. He shuffles a screwball comedy about a runaway against a hard drama about civil rights, and while the seams sometimes show, the energy never flags. Watch for the directors' and Griffith's own daughters in small parts, including a very young Dakota Johnson. Stream Crazy in Alabama online on iFILM.
