Common Law Wife is a 1961 drama about some horrible people who live in New Orleans. Grace Nolan wrote the script and Eric Sayers is the director. Larry Buchanan gets an uncredited director credit for directing the footage from his film Swamp Rose, Eric cut footage from that into the film he shot. It's that kind of lazy sloppy film making that makes Eric and Larry guys who should just fuck off.
An old man called Shug wants his long time girlfriend out of the house, he's got eyes on a tramp from the north to take her place. The tramp turns out to be Shug's niece and the girlfriend finds out she's Shug's common law wife. Now the girlfriend has some power and she makes Shug's life somewhat miserable. The niece has her own plot going one, Shug has some readies and she's gonna get some of that cash if it kill's him. Sadly it's not quite interesting enough to be really compelling. Spending time with these people just isn't much fun. At least many of them die. You can find out who by watching the movie on YouTube. There's a link in the title above.
