Wiki.
As Summers Die is a 1986 American made-for-television drama film starring Scott Glenn, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bette Davis and Beah Richards, directed by Jean-Claude Tramont. The film is loosely based on Winston Groom's 1980 novel of the same name about greed, bigotry and justice in late 1950s segregationist southern Louisiana. It was filmed in Quitman, Georgia and premiered on HBO on May 18, 1986. The film was the last television film produced by HBO Premiere Films before being folded into HBO Pictures, with the next Premiere film, Apology, released under that banner. It was later released on VHS by HBO/Cannon Video.
