110 Degrees In The Shade


Under the bright stage lights the song ended, and another scene changed. Sitting in the comfortable seats in the back row gave us a bird's eye view of the stage. "110 Degrees in the shade" had begun. The story is set in the mid-western United States, in a small town of farmers and cattle herders. The main character Lizzie is trying to find love, even if she seems to deny it at times. Her interest for the local sheriff is anything but new. He, a divorced man in denial, convinces everyone that he is a widower. The towns game in the beginning is to set these two up. But their love games are only complicated as the character Starbuck enters. The small town is gripped in drought, and on the brink of death. Starbuck professes to be a rainmaker and convinces the town to pay him to make it rain. Being somewhat of an outlaw, Starbuck makes the situation escalate, adding more mayhem to the love triangle between the sheriff and Ms. Lizzie. A fun film for anyone in the family. All ages can enjoy such a well told classic love story.
