REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 17-Mar-2006) I have seen this film several times
on TV and thoroughly enjoyed it on each occasion. My only regret is
being unable to find it on DVD. I think I could enjoy it more if I were
able to see it in its theatrical, uncut version. I have always wondered
why such a panoramic story was shot in black and white. The scenery
certainly deserved a technicolor treatment. Perhaps it was because some
"exterior" scenes were so obviously shot on a soundstage. Nonetheless,
the story of this group of indian fur traders and their keel boat made
for a facinating story. I guess the most memorable recollections I have
of this story was the enjoyable narrative of one of its supporting
characters, played by Arthur Hunnicutt, and the only appearance on film
of Elizabeth Threatt, who played the indian princess, Teal Eye. I have
often wondered what became of her, and even Google couldn't answer that.
