Set in Georgia in the late 1940s, BUSTER AND BILLIE features Vincent as Buster Lane, a smart and popular high school senior who's engaged to Martin, the prettiest girl in town. Goodfellow is Billie, the town tramp, who has had sex with half the men in town, not always willingly. A frustrated Vincent visits her one night and from that tryst a relationship grows between the two. When Vincent drops Martin and publicly dates Goodfellow, he's shunned by his family and virtually the entire town, save for his friend, the albino Whitey (Englund). After a drunken gang drags Goodfellow into the woods where they rape and murder her, Vincent sets out to get revenge. Though Goodfellow is quite good as the town tramp, the film is packed with cliched characters and predictable action. Interesting to see Englund playing one of the shy nice guy roles he filled regularly before making a career out of invading nightmares as Freddy Krueger. leave a comment
