Very ENJOYABLE film, thanks. I remember watching
Fitzpatrick’s films on Saturday afternoon TV in the 60s.
Makes me want to tour Natchez, but most of the good stuff is
probably gone. From historical readings, the lower part
of Natchez was a hooligan hangout. I remember seeing
some slave homes like those in the film, near highways in E Texas but never stopped to take pics. Gone now.
No, a lot of it is still there. What you’re referring to is Natchez-Under-The-Hill, below the bluffs right on the river, and a lot of that is gone, but a few buildings still remain. I would recommend visiting, though you’re not likely to see that overdone MGM dress-up stuff.
