  Mudhoney (1965) 

It's 1933, in the midst of the Depression and Prohibition. Calif, a 

stranger with a past walks into Spooner, Missouri on his way from 

Michigan to California. He hires on with Lute Wade to earn some 

travelling money, but gets entangled in a bad family situation: Lute's 

daughter is married to Sidney, a good-for-nothing drunk that frequents 

the rural equivalent of a whorehouse and beats his wife and is just 

waiting for Lute to kick the bucket to get his money. When Sidney and 

a local wacko preacher begin orchestrating a smear campaign against 

Calif, he finds it difficult to conceal his past and his growing 

affection for Sidney's wife. (IMDB  Ed Sutton)
