Bright Leaf is a strain of Tobacco.

In 1948 Foster Fitzsimmons published a novel about the Tobacco Industry in the late 19th Century, entitled "Bright Leaf", and, in 1950, a feature film, based on the novel, also entitled "Bright Leaf", was released.[1][2][3][4] In 2003 Ross McElwee released a personal documentary, entitled "Bright Leaves", exploring whether his family history with the Tobacco industry intersected with the novel and film.[5][6][7]

At the suggestion of a cousin, Mr. McElwee becomes convinced that the character played by Cooper is based on his great-grandfather, John Harvey McElwee, a North Carolina tobacco tycoon who was ruined and run out of the business by his nemesis, James Buchanan Duke (whose legacy would encompass both the American Tobacco Company and Duke University.)”

Through a cousin who collects vintage films and movie memorabilia, he becomes fixated on a 1950 black-and-white melodrama, Bright Leaf, about the tobacco wars of the late 19th century, starring Gary Cooper, Lauren Bacall and Patricia Neal.”
