The Big Trees (1952)
7/10
Not bad
1 April 2014
In 1900, unscrupulous timber baron Jim Fallon plans to take advantage of a new law and make millions off California redwood.

Much of the land he hopes to grab has been homesteaded by a Quaker colony, who try to persuade him to spare the giant sequoias.

But these are the very trees he wants most.

Expert at manipulating others, Fallon finds that other sharks are at his own heels, and forms an unlikely alliance.

First off Mike Douglas now looks and acts exactly like his father Kirk, who in this movie had his hair dyed Gold.

Yes, gold.

The film is in Technicolor and the color still pops.

The movie is very typical of the year and the genre.

It's not bad.
