Going South is a delightful little film from 1978 starring and directed by Jack Nicholson. Moon is an outlaw who ran with a rough gang. He was on the run from the sheriff, escaping to Mexico on his horse Speed. He got across the boarder safe and was doing a victory dance when the sheriff (Christopher Loyd) and his men just galloped across the boarder and arrested him. He was to be hanged, but there was a law in town due to the number of male deaths during the Civil War that if a woman wants to marry a man on death row than he is to be let loose. Mary Steenburgen steps forward and claims him. She brings him home only to treat him like a slave.
Will Henry Moon put the moves on her with his outlaw bad boy charm? Will they strike gold before the railroad company takes their land? Will Moon's old buddies show up and ruin everything. With the sheriff, who is jealous of Moon, do something to jeopardize everything?
Nicholson is a maniac! Maniac! No youtube. Not that popular of a movie.
