Ok, I've been thinking about this for the last few days and I have 3 offerings and 1 question.

Frankly what we see on screen looks like an optimistic amount of orange juice for 1925 Montana, but there are 3 other period appropriate OJ cocktails that would be plausible:

1) The Bebbo (gin, honey, lemon, OJ) named after 1920s flapper slang

2) Blood and Sand (scotch, OJ, cherry brandy, sweet vermouth) named after a 1922 movie

3) The Monkey Gland (gin, OK, grenadine, pastis) which inspired the 1923 song, "Made a Monkey Out of Me"

Despite solid performances, I felt Rose and George were pretty flat characters that needed a little more development to make Rose's demise believable. If you had 10 more minutes of the film, where would you have added to the story?
