...fiery river 40 ft. deep and 1,000 ft. wide flowed toward the tiny (pop. 100) village of Kalapana at a rate that reached 1,000 ft. per hr. Many residents of the village fled. But some stayed, including a 70-year-old storekeeper named Walter Yamaguchi.

In this filmed version, Alvin Sargent's adaptation and Fred Zinnemann's direction usually retain Hellman's balance. At times, however, the women's deep friendship becomes cloying, subtly but soppily suggesting an adolescent lesbian relationship, an implication Hellman worked to avoid. And in the movie Hellman-and-Julia's admittedly courageous antifascist actions are presented as historically unequalled acts of heroism...
