This beautifully written story is based on the novel by George Victor Martin and given a superior screen-play treatment by Dalton Trumbo - it also marked a departure from playing violent gangsters for the great Edward G. 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. 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. The novelist's estranged wife sued, claiming Selma was based on her life - which caused her considerable humiliation. 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. The Re-Mastered WB Archive DVD offers above average, clean images and clear sound, making for a doubly enjoyable entertainment journey.
