“Havenu0026#39;t read the novel, but really enjoyed the picture.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThe film has so much warmth from its characters. The direction was nice. The stunt work was amazing, quite incredible how it was all achieved.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film maybe missing the finer points of the novel, but for many people who havenu0026#39;t read it, the film delivers an interesting portrayl of how capitalism takes over the inner lands of America. The evolution of the characters, from being poor to being greedy. The film features many other themes, including infidelity and racism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe picture couldu0026#39;ve been 30 minutes longer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGlenn Ford is brilliant, as is Maria Schell, albeit with an annoying accent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnjoyed the direction by Mann and the photography wasnu0026#39;t bad at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, an enjoyable film! See it in wide-screen.”
