Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 92m
Director: Jacques Tourneur
Cast: Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward, Brian Donlevy, Hoagy Carmichael, Patricia Roc, Lloyd Bridges, Ward Bond
Synopsis:
Oregon, the 1850s: a hardworking freight hauler and hardware storekeeper defends his gambler-partner for embezzlement and murder, and ends up taking his girl.
Review:
Walter Wanger's pacy production was filmed in Oregon locations in gorgeous Technicolor, rarely have you seen such shiny new greens. There's a cabin-raising, a breakfast that actually gets eaten, and an Indian war party, and the makers inform their story with an understanding of the minutiae of scratching a living in those pioneer days. It's also a darn sight more polite than Deadwood (2004-6). There's just one thing missing, and that's a canyon.
