Great Classic Wellman Film
10 June 2006
Whenever William Wellman produced a picture, you can expect a deep and profound story with lots of dark sides to the characters and very unusual photography. This film takes place high in the mountains of the Northwest with plenty of snow and the peril of a panther stalking the livestock of farms. Robert Mitchum, (Curt Bridges) is the sort of head of the family and seems to have a clip on his shoulders towards most of his family. His father is an all the time Drunk who is completely worthless and his mother, (Buelah Bondi) Ma Bridges professes to be a Bible Reading Christian, but has a dark side and loves only Curt. If you like a story from 1954 with Veteran Classic actors, this is definitely the film for you.
