Movie mavens will recognize Clara Blandick as a frightened landlady and Samuel S. Precocious & poignant, Spanky’s character is quite unforgettable.įred Stone & Robert Barrat play the heads of the two feuding clans, one gentle – the other fierce. Already the star of numerous OUR GANG comedies, the tiny tyke here displays the talent that placed him in the front rank of child movie stars. Special mention should be made of seven-year-old Spanky McFarland, who plays Miss Sidney’s little brother. Cuddly Nigel Bruce is MacMurray’s associate – gruff & grumbly, but with a heart of gold. The marvelous character actress Beulah Bondi appears as Miss Sidney’s mother, one of the first in a decades-long line of stubborn, proud old women she would play her eyes tell of the world of trouble her character has seen on the mountain. All three deliver compelling performances, with a slight advantage going to the gentlemen, as their roles do not require as much shrill, fickle behavior as does Miss Sidney’s. The film’s romantic triangle consists of barefoot mountain lass Sylvia Sidney, her decent, uncomplicated cousin Henry Fonda, and mining executive Fred MacMurray, who, as a newcomer to the backwoods, rebels against the traditions of violence & revenge he finds there.

You'd be better off watching something like 1948's ACT OF VIOLENCE.`In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE,’ a young woman discovers love, but no respite from the violent feud which has torn apart two families.įull of good performances & boasting excellent production values courtesy of Paramount Studios, this fine drama brings to its viewers a not-so-subtle message of peace & tolerance. I didn't dislike TLM, but other than the British setting/actors there wasn't much to hold my attention. Bland story, boring characters, nice photography and lighting, very low violence, yawn creating pace. Neither one is exciting for the viewer to watch. Instead of kicking ass he spends most of his time standing around looking confused or moping around looking sad. After 12 years you would hope that Davidson would either be completely insane or very calculating in his quest for revenge, but no this guy's clueless.
Even worse, his ex-girlfriend, who lied at his trial, ended up marrying the inspector in charge of his case!Īs far as old revenge thrillers go THE LONG MEMORY is just alright. Unfortunately he doesn't know the whereabouts or even the names of everybody involved with his betrayal.
Twelve years later he's released with a bolder-sized chip on his shoulder and a desire to get even with those that wronged him.
