- In 1900, lumberman Jim Fallon (Kirk Douglas) greedily eyes the big sequoia redwood trees in the virgin region of northern California. The land is already settled by, among others, a religious group led by Elder Bixby (Charles Meredith) who have a religious relationship with the redwoods and refuse to log them, using other smaller trees for lumber. Jim becomes infatuated with Bixby's daughter, Alicia (Eve Miller), though that does not change his plan to cheat the homesteaders. When Jim's right-hand man, Yukon Burns (Edgar Buchanan) finds out, he changes sides and leads the locals in resisting Jim. The locals combat Jim's loggers with a sympathetic judge with Jim fighting back by using Federal laws.
Elder Bixby is killed when a big sequoia tree is chopped down by Jim's men and falls on his cabin. Jim's desperate attempt to rescue Alicia's father saves him from being convicted of murder. Meanwhile, timber rival Cleve Gregg (Harry Cording) appears on the scene, making it a three-way fight. Gregg and his partner Frenchy LeCroix (John Archer) try to assassinate Jim, but end up killing Yukon instead. Jim has a dramatic change of heart and leads the settlers in defeating Gregg and Frenchy. Afterwards, Jim marries Alicia and settles down.

I subscribed and I'm glad you have this movie herein Idaho.
The Redwood Forest is the only reason I'd ever go back to California. It really is a beautiful place.
"well me also😅 ❤.-&-"no further south whatsoever 😂❤💟🙆💫💖🌠🌠📻💝💛🎶.
Man, there is some beautiful footage in these old westerns.
The movies used great film(s) that held their quality
So gorgeous
💜🪵🏞️💖💫🙆💟🌲
Alln A. McHne... Loves this beautiful movie.
Its utterly amazing that the mountain ash eucalyptus trees of Tasmania grow as tall as redwoods and sequoia trees in only 400 years and redwoods grow rapidly. In New Zealand the preferred timber tree is Monterey Pine trees. Without wind they grow straight and fast.
Ole Jim Smiley! LOLOL Love it!!
I love western movies.
I loved this movie very much
The big sky with Kirk great movie two
The problem with cutting the redwoods was discovered quite quickly. When they hit the ground they splintered into shingles, which was all they were good for. The wood simply could not be made into boards for building. That's why so many of those old trees survive, they stopped cutting them.
You need to research a bit more before believing your own words there, which are completely false. The old growth Redwood was so saught after because it is extremely strong, the houses built here in Mendocino with it are the ones still standing a hundred years later, the best shingles, no bug or pest can chew through it's density.
That strikes me as funny because Pacific Lumber Company would have went out of business quickly if that was the case. The only reason they went out of business because of the Spotted Owl craziness. I know I am from Humboldt County.
This is not true
Looks like the nays have it.
What a Great Movie this was to watch & the beautiful Natures Giant Redwood Trees etc.
The quote in the film ""God helps those who help themselves" is not in the Bible.
YOU ARE RIGHT--IT WAS SAID BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, IN "POOR RICHARD"S ALMANAC".
One of my favorite movies.
Great movie
Movies of wild trees and human beings not super natural. Madness.
Turned out better than I thought it would be
Wonderful film.
Damm I just did the maths, and according to his tombstone, Lucky was only 46 yrs old!!
Love Kirk Douglas balancing on those logs on a moving train
I wanted to go to this the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs , Tarzana California. But learned that he partitioned it out over time..
One of the Best
I first saw this movie in the Greentree drive-in with my best friend, Jimmy McNight.
It is the giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) that are only good for fence posts. Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) is one of the greatest woods in the world. Can't fault Michael Fleming for being a little confused.
OK but they make good persaters too🌙🌛🌒
correct - the sequoia sempervirens are often a little taller
just the spitting image of his son.
RIP Big Kirk"✨
Always a big Fan of Kurt Douglas Movies, He really plays a good BS Artist in this one etc.
The storyline of this Film makes me nauseous! There really were men rotten enough to cut down trees that were over 2000 years old! You know they went after the largest and oldest trees they could find!!! Just a sickening thought!!! 🤢🤮😢😭
Redwood were so high that they keep the soil damp preventing fire 🔥 but they chopped down
wonderful movie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
50:43 what song is this plzzz tell me if anyone know
Wow, that is an old movie! KIrk Douglas was young. Most everyone in this movie is dead.
Kirk still lives by golly and just turned 103!
Great flick, thanks for posting. What better way for a man of faith to die than defending his property with Bible in hand? (59:00). Best line? 1:24:30, "Don't move, the hand of judgement is upon thee."
TY very much for sharing
Kirk Douglas said this was the worst movie he ever made when he was on Dick Cavett's show.
hahahahah thats why i am here!!!!!!!
Kirk Douglas raped Natalie Wood bad. Robert Wagner wanted to kill him. Hollywood kept that quiet!!
I wonder if the location Tall Trees from Red Dead Redemption was named after this
I always admire kurt douglas in any movie very good actor.
Sweet movie! Kirk Douglas was a god!
God? You gotta be kiddin'
As a Kid I called these Trees. Gods Skyscrapers.
Audio is awful
"Why you sty in the eye of a flea on a thy of a needle on a neck of a gnat" Lol...
🤣🤣🤣
@Ann M ... "I'll shoot that thing you call a head, right out from under your hat."
The sequoia trees are the biggest trees in the world and the people of the time cut them or down and they were big trees that belonged to the world
Could you make a stereo sound-Version of this one too?
Rip Kirk Douglas 2020

It's kind of sad that in today's world the sadness of greed in life.
Directed by Felix Feist??
I'd like to comment on the comments, but I won't. Forgive for being rather crass, but frankly, the movies of long ago were jewels: not the fuckin bullshit and garbage that today has degenerated into. Just sayin.
✔️✔️✔️ and the beautiful music too❤
And people have also degenerated into using foul language at every opportunity, even in video comments that are supposed to be respectful of others.
Kirk Dougie said this was one of his least favorite films

S P O I L E R A L E R T The synopsis given above is more than a brief overview. It will tell you the movie plot and spoil any suspense the movie may hold. I do not recommend you read it unless you want to skip the movie anyway.
They like me.... You do!

Your breaking up the team....for good
I despise swindlers and flim-flam artists, even if they are kirk douglas. After 10 minutes of this, I almost puked!
Robert
Kirk ia almost as good a con man as the soulless Donald T.
Foolishly bring politics into any part of life you can says a lot about the life you don't have , you sad person.
