The film 'Deliverance' created an enduring movie legend with the 'Dueling Banjos' scene. In this sequence, a city-dweller on guitar engages in a musical 'battle' with a local boy playing the banjo. The banjo used in the film is a five-string version, known for its bright, rapid-fire percussive sound. While the scene is famous for its musical brilliance, it also used the instrument to create a sense of unease and cultural disconnect. Ironically, the boy in the film didn't actually play; a real banjo player was hidden behind him, reaching around to do the fingering. This scene turned the banjo into a symbol of the American South in cinema, proving that a single musical performance can define the entire legacy and 'legend' of a film.
