All of which is true, and none of which makes it a good movie.

One must understand the struggle of life in order to
appreciate this movie. It is one thing to take a bold
undertaking such as uproot yourself and your family in
search of a better life but one must heed the rules of
experience. This was clearly shown as the Shatner character not protecting himself from an obvious peril
that took his life. Prairie fires are common in this
area also and he should have left room around the farmed
area for a fire stop. Success can be obtained in any
endeavour but study must be employed. Finally, luck
is a necessity but unfortunately elusive to most.

I don’t think it’s so much non-union — anywhere outside of California can say that — but there were probably subsidies of which the producers could take advantage. Still: “The part of Wyoming in tonight’s performance will be played by Alberta…”

I’m not sure whether this was true back then, but the reason so many films supposedly set in the USA are actually shot in Canada these days is because of cheap non-union labor.

I don’t think even William Shatner could make this movie interesting to me.

I notice the cover is from that dollar DVD company that uses a lot of (the font) Chicago on their covers. I have a few of those at home–/The Hatchet Murders/, /Loose Shoes/, /The Demon/, /Casablanca Express/, /The Seniors/, and /There Goes the Bride/. I like Chicago, so they look good on the shelf in a group.
