00:00Before there were the people, or even the idea of people, there was the land, and the

00:11creek that crossed it.

00:12The way I look at it is, if an attractive woman wants to hide herself out here in the

00:18middle of nowhere, it is her business.

00:22The woman was Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who searched for solitude, and found instead an

00:31undiscovered universe of humanity, which was immortalized in the Pulitzer award-winning

00:36classic, The Yearling.

00:37My Pa don't believe in keeping pets, but Flank's special.

00:38He's real smart.

00:39You're not even afraid of gators, are you?

00:40Ever been bit by one?

00:41Not recently.

00:42Somebody shot my pig.

00:55That is just the way I am.

00:58I go along quietly for a while, and then out of the clear blue sky, I don't know what happens

01:03to me, I just pick up a gun, I shoot whatever makes me angry.

01:06I'm so afraid one day it just might be a person.

01:10I've been watching how you do it, but you're a woman, and you live by yourself, and don't

01:15nobody take advantage of you.

01:16That's something I learned out for you.

01:20And it was in Cross Creek that she fell in love.

01:23Flank!

01:24Flank!

01:25She's not human, not a critter.

01:28She loves that animal.

01:29It's gonna have to be shot.

01:31This is my world, Cross Creek.

01:37People here are richer than my imaginary governesses.

01:42Baba, no!

01:43Stop it, Baba!

01:44Baba, please, I promise!

01:45I'll make it up to you.

01:46Baba, please listen to me!

01:47If I can't write my own honest thoughts and feelings, then I'm no author.

01:56Producer Robert Radnitz and director Martin Ritt present Academy Award winning actress

02:02Mary Steenburgen.

02:05In a motion picture experience to be treasured forever.

02:08Miss Rollins, we did good.

02:13We did magnificently.
