Line 40:
* [[Never Mess with Granny]]: Sipsie.
* [[Noble Bigot with a Badge]]: Grady, despite being a racist himself, stands up to a crowd of out-of-town Klansmen when they attack Big George. In the novel he's a Klan attending bigot who uses the N-word frequently. {{spoiler|[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|He's also half of Railroad Bill, and breaks into boxcars to throw canned food into black communities so their residents won't starve.]]}}
** The movie at least heavily implies that in Grady's particular part of the Klan, marching and using slurs is about ''all'' they do. They apparently have something of a reputation for being too nice to the local blacks (at least by a racist's standards).
* [[One-Woman Wail]]: A slow gospel version is sung throughout some scenes.
* [[Pass Fail]]: One of the novel's sub-plots is about a black character who is able to pass as white, only to cause trouble to a passing relative who recognized her without realizing she was trying to do so.
