Tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1965: an older pace and style.

After the Civil War, a southern boy, aged 12, runs away from his foster home, wanders the countryside, and meets various odd characters along the way, including Milo, a mysterious drifter who may or may not be the vengeful "Fool Killer" of folklore.
