What about Key largo?
I’m looking for an old (1930-1960) movie or book, set in Florida about
a grandfather and a young girl and 2 younger sibling who are driving in Florida. They meet up
with a young man who helps them. Their car breaks down and they end up camping by
the roadside. They find out that the roadside belongs to the
government so they decide to homestead the property and make it their
home. Of course there’s romance between the girl and the boy.
It may have had Richard Crenna as the male lead, but I can’t find
anything about it. If you have heard of either the book or film
Please let me know the title.
Sandra, sounds a lot like “Follow That Dream” with Elvis.
