      Dennis Harvey 48 Hills There are very funny scenes as the Briskows go Beverly Hillbillies, plus a climax that’s all fire and flood.

      Audience Member Run of the mill drama enhanced by Garfield's acting. O'Brien is his usual capable gruff self and the film isn't bad just something you've seen a million times before. Also of interest for the inclusion of the troubled ultimately tragic Frances Farmer as the female lead. The part doesn't challenge her but she is a charming engaging presence. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member reminded me of MGM's 'boom town" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was not a major film at the time, but with John Garfield in it, it?s worth watching. Adding interest to it is the fascinating Frances Farmer. She is so hauntingly beautiful, and one cannot help but think of her tragic life. The story is pretty routine but it is well done and entertaining. Directed by Alfred E. Green. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member great 2 see the real frances farmer-quite a good actor Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
