Some similarities to big trees from 1952, and valley of the giants in 1938. Clearly, the one from 1938 was first! Each film highlights groups wanting to cut down the timber on land, owned by the U. S. or by someone else. In timber stampede, the "business men" want to sell the trees for lumber, and start out by using fake homesteaders. Of course, the local ranchers don't like this plan, since they graze their cattle on that land. Now it's a showdown over the land. With twenty two year old marj reynolds along for fun. She will go on to co-star with abbott and costello in time of their lives. It's exactly what we expect from a western. Good guys against the bad guys. It moves right along, since it's under one hour run time. George o'brien had started way back, in silents. Early-ish role for chill wills. Directed by david howard. He died quite young at 45, just a couple years after making this film. It's okay.
