Top notch movie
31 March 2006
I saw the hanging tree when I was 8. I am now 55. I'll never forget this movie. It left a lasting impression on me. Why is this film not offered as a DVD? I await the glorious day. I have been singing the last verse of the title song, that Marty Robbins sang, all these years. I'll never forget how the song started up when Doc Frail was about to be hung and Elisabeth came to the forefront to buy his life with the title deed to the mine and the gold they had. She was about to walk away, thinking Frail had no interest in her. Then he called out her name 'Elisabeth!' She turned toward him while the song, The Hanging Tree was warming up to the moment! What a moment! After all these years I still feel what I felt when I was 8 years old and watching it for the first time. To bad movie making like that is a thing of the past. Devon Leesley
