Robinson. It’s been said that Robinson agreed to make another Gangster film for MGM only if he got to play the lead in this film. And he’s grand as the Norwegian farmer and father, to the remarkable young Margaret O’ Brien (playing daughter Selma) Together they create a marvellous screen rapport. <br /><br />The entire cast is strong, with an interesting performance by the all too little seen Polish Actor, Morris Carnovsky. Carnovsky was among several in this production to be black banned by the HUAC’S witch-hunt - that unfortunately, removed so many highly talented names from Hollywood during the 50s. Carnovsky issued a profound statement after the hearing which said: “The committee's work was not really an inquiry, but an inquisition into the inviolable areas of one's deepest manhood and integrity–the end result is the blacklist, the deprivation by innuendo of one's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in work." Trumbo and Robinson were also heavily affected by this committee’s continuing accusations – some may have been correct, others may not. <br /><br />The novelist’s estranged wife sued, claiming Selma was based on her life - which caused her considerable humiliation.<br /> <br />Another stand-out young performer, Butch Jenkins matches O’Brien with well-realised portrayals of county kids observing the adult world through young eyes. There’s a different sort of mood to this human look at the trials and tribulations of settlers in a new homeland, and it should make for a refreshing experience for those who enjoy storytelling and moviemaking in the 40’s golden year’s style. Polish composer Bronislau Kaper, another escapee from Nazi Europe - captures all the emotions and grandeur of life in the new land.<br /> <br />The Re-Mastered WB Archive DVD offers above average, clean images and clear sound, making for a doubly enjoyable entertainment journey. <br />KenRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-31633641403854472262019-11-02T03:18:36.079-07:002019-11-02T03:18:36.079-07:00The Blaze credit card application status is all ab...The Blaze credit card application status is all about checking your credit card status.

And to come back and give us such a fun review of a good film.<br /><br />I love Kelly and Garland together. As a matter of fact. I've got Summer Stock sitting on my DVR. Now if I could just take the time to watch it.<br /><br />Everyone knows that I'm not a fan of musicals but Judy makes me smile and her songs are so beautiful with that voice that I don't even think about her films being musicals if that makes sense. She was such a hard working girl and Gene was so amazing with his choreography. Put those two together and we get magic.<br /><br />A wonderful review of one of my favorite Kelly films.<br /><br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-22088357676987431262012-08-26T12:06:24.359-07:002012-08-26T12:06:24.359-07:00Enjoyed your piece so much.

I always love watching Gene Kelly and Judy Garland together, even though they never made a film that truly lived up to the combined level of their talents. I agree with other posters, though--the first half of this was more entertaining than the second.
