World-class dialect coaching in Estus Pirkle films

Say what you will about crazy Anti-Communist Fundamentalist Estus Pirkle, but the movies he made were stirling examples of cinema verite. It was always the little things, the tiny attention to detail that gave Pirkle's films their uncanny punch--watching them, you simply believed what was occurring onscreen was an event unfolding before your eyes in real time. In this clip, we see perhaps the best example of a Cuban Communist ever committed to film. Listen to the dialogue, and remind yourself that this is not an actual Cuban Marxist, but an amateur actor from Tennessee or Mississippi whose experience was limited to church plays. Hard to believe, but that's the cinematic magic of Estus Pirkle.
