Trail of the Lonesome Pine

Paramount's first outdoor Technicolor feature, Trail of the
Lonesome Pine was the third film version of John Fox Jr.'s
novel. Inspired by the Hatfield-McCoy feud, the story is set in
the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Outsider Fred MacMurray
arrives to clear the path for a new railroad. Mountain girl Sylvia
Sidney falls in love with MacMurray, which incurs the enmity of
Sidney's boyfriend Henry Fonda. It also plunks MacMurray in
the middle of a long-standing feud between Sidney's family
and another mountain clan. Hostilities alternately erupt and
simmer until Sidney's youngest brother (Spanky McFarland) is
killed by a feud-inspired dynamite blast. This tragic incident
brings virtually everyone to their senses, and the feud is finally
buried. Better in its individual setpieces than as a unified
whole, Trail of the Lonesome Pine is still a worthwhile
experience, especially when a pristine three-strip Technicolor
print is available.
