Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
whpratt1 If you liked Robert Taylor, (Bushrod Gentry) in many of his films, you will enjoy this comedy with Eleanor Parker, (Mary Stuart Cheme). This film opens up with Bushrod traveling through the woods of Kentucky as a hunter to just sold $400.00 worth of furs at a trading post and the young girl at the post had her eyes on Bushrod for marriage, but this was not what Bushrod wanted in his life for a long time to come.Bushrod runs into an Indian who attacks Mary Stuart Cheme, and saves her from being scalped and raped. It was from that moment on that Mary Stuart was determined to have this man as her husband.There is plenty of comedy and Victor McLaglen, (Mr. Cadmus Cheme) gave a great supporting role along with many other famous actors. Enjoy.
edwagreen Absolutely stupid, inane farce with Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker falling apart in their attempt to do comedy. 1955 was a banner year for Miss Parker. She received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for playing polio-stricken opera star Marjorie Lawrence in the wonderful musical biography of "Interrupted Melody." How Parker, who often was criticized for a tendency to over-act, permitted herself to be drawn into this project is beyond me. Ditto for Taylor. Just 2 years before, he was a smash in the Oscar nominated "Ivanhoe." As a backwards man trapper, Tayor displayed the appropriated facial pain of being subjected to the script.Both take chances of saving each other by Indians during the 1700s in Kentucky. It's the usual fanfare of supposed dislike leading to love.This film would have been far better had there been a dramatic element to it. The ending scene is the cave was just too ridiculous to discuss.As for the supposed-catchy tune, The Berry Tree-It's almost like saying The Berry Tree, Woe is Me. Catching a wife. After hearing this song and viewing this stinker, it's time for a divorce.
txmoor50 I saw this movie many years ago, and fully enjoyed it. Does anyone know the words to the song, "The higher up the berry tree"???? If so, please e-mail me @ txmoor50@yahoo.com------thanks. I really would love to get this info, as my mother is just wild about this song. I am really having a hard time finding anyone who can help me on this subject. I was probably about ten years old when I first saw this movie, and heard this song. I can still remember humming it to this day, but for the life of me I can't remember the words. Great movie though. My oldest brother can usually help me on any of the "movie classics", but even he wasn't able to come through to help on this one.
lagoon higher up the berry tree" it stuck with me and so did the fun of the movie. i remember that robert taylor just looked out of place to me but the movie stayed with me all these years. I have enjoyed it over the years and have seen it on tv a couple of times and i always recommend it to my friends. good.
