“Petey Wheatstraw (1978) marks the end of Rudy Ray Mooreu0026#39;s great run at independent film making. The 70u0026#39;s were about to end along with the great era of self produced films. The big movie companies were about to crush the small market studios once and for all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnough soapboxing on with my behalf, letu0026#39;s get on with the brief review. Rudy Ray Moore plays a signifying performer who some how manages to get mixed up with the Devilu0026#39;s personal affairs. He makes a deal with old Lucipher (watch the film to get that joke) and tries to welsh on his end of the deal. This film is flat out funny. Loosely based upon one of his stand up skits (Dolemite and the Human Tornado were also based on stand up routines)and technically sound (for a low budget production) Petey Wheatstraw is a must watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI highly recommend this film.”
