Movie Review: rural sprawl produces another lumbering adaptation of edna ferber
Summary: 3 Stars
as usual, edna ferber books are just too damned spread out to work as fully effective films, but they adapt as pretty good almosts. the first part of the movie, set in a late 1800s logging camp, work much better for me, with frances farmer way more credible as the bar girl than a generation later playing her own daughter. edward arnold is as always great (pleeez, release "diamond jim brady" on dvd!), and walter brennan won one of his 3 oscars in a memorable supporting turn, tho the young joel mccrea (usually a favorite) comes off as a stiff here. yet the inherent problem in any ferber adaptation (see "giant", "show boat", "saratoga trunk", &c.) is theres just too much that needs to be left out. still tho, its fun.
Movie Review: Was it edited from original 1936 release?
Summary: 3 Stars
I had seen the original movie back in the late 1940's or early 1950's and have always had a scene in my head where at least one (maybe several) steam locomotives were on the tracks and moving in front of the depot building in Iron Ridge, Wisconsin. My parents lived only a few miles from it. I knew the area well!!!
I was disappointed that there are no such scenes in this DVD version?
Did I imagine the whole thing or was this version edited from the original movie?
