Featured review
In this peculiar movie there various and motley characters , such as : Burl Ives as Cottonmouth, more terrrifying than the dreadly marshland he ruled , Chistopher Plummer , the one who dared go in after him, Gypsy Rose Lee who imported the Girls , Tony Galento the heavy wright fighter as Beef , he escaped with Sammy Renick , the famous jockey , a renegade from the track, Emmett Kelly , the great circus clown , as Bigamy Bob , the multi-married outlaw McKinlay Kantor and introducing a new European star from Poland , lovely Chana Eden . The people passions and plunder that swept the 1000 terror-miles of everglades ¡ Storming the heights of motion picture greatness ¡. Hollywood bulletion : Nothing like it since " Grapes of Wrath" . Best-selling novel now on the screen, now the screen is adult enough !. Please see it from the beginning . No motion picture ever stabbed so deep ¡
This is an offbeat movie plenty of barroque scenes , ecologism, rare roles , disjointed set pieces and gorgeous outdoors from Florida . Financed by Warner Bros and produced by Stuart Schulberg and script by his brother Budd Schulberg , the prestigious man who gave you "On the Waterfront" . Schulberg attempted to take the filmmaking against an alcoholic Nicholas Ray, and finally Budd made the final scenes. Main and support cast are pretty good . The incombustible Christopher Plummer in his second screen appearance is pretty nice as the ornithologist who fights a bunch of bird poachers and Burl Ives is top-notch as the boss who imposes his own law in the Florida Everglades . And fine support cast , such as: Gypsy Rose Lee , Pat Henning , introducing Chana Eden and Peter Falk in his feature debut , among others .
Here stands out the stunning cinematography shot on location in Florida marshland , showing the lush exteriors and a lot of wildlife and birds that are the peculiar and real protagonists of this nice movie. The motion picture was uneven but professionally directed by Nicholas Ray in his usual style . He was a great director who made masterpieces , successes and failures . Ray directed all kinds of genres as Epic , Noir Film , Drama , Western , Religious , Wartime, such as : "The live by Night" , "Knock in any Door" , "In a lonely place" , "Born to be bad" , "On Dangerous Ground", "Flying Leathernecks", "The Lusty Man" , "Johnny Guitar", "Party Girl", "The King of Kings" , "55 days in Pekin" and several others. Rating : Notable 7/10. Better than average . The film will appeal to Christopher Plummer fans that he is still playing with certain success , as well as followers of this great and rebel filmmaker called Nicholas Ray . Essential and indispensable watching .
