Title: Tall tale on a silly trail
Product review: Yeah, I agree with the other reviewers that the film has some nice photography and color. But the dialog... sheesh! Hollywood types have never been able to nail the "mountain-folk" dialect, even if they had a decent script. And Henry Fonda (even a very young one) playing second to Fred MacMurray is a deal breaker. The premise is sound: industrial progress competing with family blood feud to disturb the otherwise tranquil beauty of the Appalachian mountains. Would have been better as a romance, rather than a cheap fist fight. I guess I was expecting something closer to the quality of Spencer's Mountain. If you liked The Waltons, maybe this one's for you.
