Action and Romance Among The Redwoods
The Big Trees"(1952), Stars Kirk Douglas, as a lumberman intent on claiming ownership and cutting down the beautiful Redwood trees in Northern, California. His oppostion are a group of Quakers who feel that God gave them those trees for their church and do everything in their power to protect the trees from the money hungry businessman! The most outspoken of the group is of course a beautiful woman(Eve Miller), that Douglas falls for, and must decide between the trees and her. Great action sequences as well. Also look for notables Edgar Buchanan as "Yukon", Allen Hale Jr., and Miss Ellen Corby.

This film is perfect for fans of Kirk Douglas and westerns. You can also get it in a great set that BCI has put together called "Legends of the West". It's a two disc set with four films(one on each side) and includes this one, the wonderful "One Eyed Jacks" starring Marlon Brando and Karl Malden(also happens to be directed by Brando),"The Sundowners"(1950) with Robert Preston, Robert Sterling and John Barrymore Jr, and "Vegeance Valley" starring Burt Lancaster and Robert Walker. This one, in the BCI Eclipse set looks great on the DVD. The original technicolor is beautiful,the picture is clear and the sound quality is very good. See my review for details on the other films and transfers.

Happy Trails.....Laurie
