The red earth of Harrow., 11 November 2007
7/10
Author: dbdumonteil

Another melodrama by one of the giants of the genre.I think the story does not really takes off in its first part.Gambling and Amorous Quarrel again and again.If it were not for Maureen O'Hara or Rex Harrison,it would be downright boring.

But the second part ,after the wedding, is much more exciting: it looks like,relatively speaking, the second part of "Gone With the wind" (Rhett,Scarlett,the child,the dear valuable property,even Belle Watling)with a dash of "Uncle Tom's cabin" thrown in for good measure :it's really too bad that the part of Belle should be so underwritten;her rebel stand was so necessary in this yessir world.She is the equivalent of Eliza in Mrs Beecher-Stowe's book but she was not as lucky as her.

This second part is the descent into hell ,for husband and wife have lost almost everything and they have got to pick up the pieces.
