A fine film, but with the revolting way things have been going, seeing my country circling the drain, I’ve been more apt to seek solace in films exuding touches of old-fashioned americana. Today, I watched two old favorites I first saw on the late-show decades ago:
“Trail of the Lonesome Pine” (1936), with Sylvia Sidney, Fred MacMurray and Henry Fonda. The first three-strip Technicolor feature shot outdoors. And,
“Bend of the River” (1952), the classic Anthony Mann western starring Jimmy Stewart, Arthur Kennedy and Julia Adams. Fine action and scenery.
Both of those sound quite good. I’m a MacMurray fan, so I’ll definitely check that one out.
