Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
climbingivy I started watching "Foxfire" a few days ago on the Encore Western Channel and I became caught up in the story and the beauty of the Technicolor and the location scenes in the desert.I made a DVD of the movie for my collection and I just got through watching the movie from the very beginning to the end.I had never watched a Jane Russell film before and I am impressed with her acting talent and her incredible beauty.I had seen her and Marilyn Monroe in a few minutes of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" a few years ago and I was not that impressed with the movie.I know that Howard Hughes thought that Jane Russell was special.He was right.Jeff Chandler as the half Apache Native American man was terrific too.I felt that Jeff Chandler was the perfect man for the part.The scenery and Technicolor are magnificent.I give this unknown film a major thumbs up!I have this movie.
morganoneill This is one of 3 best movies Russell ever made: the other being gentleman prefer blonds with Marilyn and His Kind of Woman with Robert Mitchem...she is so beautiful, charming and totally a match of these two co-stars it is a pleasure to see them. Chandler is wonderful, what a shame dying at 42 from a bungled spinal operation(blood poisoning), or they would have surely made more movies together..check it out, a true spark between them...and ditto for she and Robert Mitchem in His Kind of Love 1955..they became lifelong friends until his death, Great interview by Robt Osbourne on Turner with the two of them.

Greg Couture Universal-International was a busy little hive of audience-pleasing eye candy back in the Fifties and it probably employed more "starlets" and up-and-coming hunks in its stable of contractees than all of its major studio rivals combined. Some of U.-I.'s output contained some very worthwhile elements amidst the Technicolored trappings. This one offered some fairly well-considered insights on the marital tribulations encountered when two people from very dissimilar backgrounds and outlooks on life attempt to make of their marriage vows more than just a ritual they once pronounced when their union began.Jane Russell seemed well paired with the tall and handsome Jeff Chandler and the locations look authentic enough for the story to hold one's interest. Celia Lovsky, always an actress who could win an audience's favor in the briefest of roles (and, alas, she was never allotted more than a few scenes in most of her films), scores once again in "Foxfire." This is one to watch for if you notice it scheduled on a late-night or early afternoon TV broadcast.
frdancer For the era of filmmaking, I felt that the subject of racial/cultural discrimination was handled well. Also, the director/writer explored the character, Dartland's, self-loathing and fear of being rejected because of his Native-American heritage -- all this intermingled with his life that is based on secrets, the desire to belong to an acceptable social class, dealing with a flourishing career, and the strained marriage with Russell. Loved it!
