A Texas movie where "King Billy's on the wall"

THE SOUTHERNER (1945) was a successful and Oscar-nominated movie of its time, directed by Jean Renoir. It depicts the hardships of pioneer life in the ‘share-cropper’ cotton farms of Texas in the early 1940s. In a sequence showing a community fiddle square dance, the famous portrayal of King William III on his horse can be seen hanging on the wall.
