rural drama quite mellow and but well do and help by a good casting . betty field at maybe her best performance at movie picture while john wayne at his first film in color after the grandiose the stagecoach while harry carey in the priest while beulah bondi at one of her characteristic work play an embittered woman while the very use by master john ford and war bond . and and last but not least and an splendid photography in wonderful technicolor . i though it be a western and i find instead a strange community make whisky clandestinely at ozark mountain region and arkansas and who remind me some people i meet in a trip to north of england and near kyle of lochals and very reluctant to contact with foreigns . i like the 80 % of the film and that be make with conviction and professionalism and care by excellent craftsman henry hathaway . it be be a bite too much melodramatic and out of date and but interesting . i give it an seven .
