7/10
A work directed by 3 people that had a very good result
14 April 2021
Drama directed by Howard Hawks, William Wyler and Richard Rosson, despite the fact that this fact by 3 different perspectives coexisted and it was a good work, orderly and dialogue.

I liked it a lot because it is simple but there is a way to show it as personal and important at the same time. The script was tidy for me, going to technical aspects, I liked the cinematography that is small but that at the beginning especially stands out with those forests and logs colliding with the water, it looks surprising, capable of long shots but optimizes the resource. The love story is interesting especially from the middle, where the main one projects onto the girl (Frances Farner) his desire to make up for the mistake he made in his past by leaving his beloved to choose another life.

In performances they made me very good, and they managed to hold each other. Edward Arnold was spectacular and goes from being a dreamer who lives life without much care to a bitter man who is haunted by a great mistake from his past. Walter Brennan is the best for me and today I understand his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, he is brilliant, maintains humor and a unique bond with the protagonist, this is seen in the first scene that jumps above him transmits a trust and friendship unique, excellent chemistry.

Frances Farner and Joel McCrea were the great couple who from the beginning longed for their romance, Farner interpret two characters very well in this film with very different characters and contexts.

A film that has kept its charm over the years and that I would perfectly see again.
