...even though no specific control is placed upon their speech, are as good as gagged. There can be no people's rule unless there is talk... words, ideas in a never-ending stream, from the enduring wisdom of the great and the good to puniest thought troubling the feeblest brain. All are listened to, all add up to something and we call it the rule of the people...

...Northland's version of California's Okic, without Steinbeck touches. Henry Fonda plays the part of the itinerant tree-chopper-downer, but his dreaminess is far less appropriate than it was in the character of Tom Joad. Nor is he helped by one of the slowest and feeblest scripts ever devised. The picture, though it contains eye-filling shots of geese flying north and south, quite fails to put across its theme of the strong man in conflict with nature.

Frail and flowerlike, her straight dark hair falling about her face, she was the most appealing of all Saint Joans, and the feeblest...

Nevertheless, this unrelieved saga of march and massacre, played by a topheavily male cast, whose embarrassing way of laughing at Spencer Tracy's feeblest sallies gets loonier as they get hungrier, is more than run-of-the-mill cowboys and Indians. Responsible are King Vidor's veteran directing, his earnest regard for realism in frontier history, some first-rate Technicolor photography, and the capable acting of Spencer Tracy. As Ranger Rogers, Spencer Tracy is as much at home in a whaleboat in Northwest Passage as he was in a fishing boat in Captains Courageous. It is no more...
