The film started as a typical early 60s hooligan movie that I was literally counting the seconds to find something else to watch.<br /><br />Oddly something kept me watching, it wasnt the cliche and very dated slang. It seemed a spark with Joyce Taylor, rough around the edges at first but the on screen duo drew me in. <br />Before long the movie morphs into a kidnapper power struggle, and somehow morphs into a forest fire public service announcement for smoky the bear. (The film sets a record for anti smoking comments in an era where smoking was still very in vogue)<br /><br />The film wraps with a ringing endorsment for statutory crime that would have a modern officer thrown in jail. (In the films defense they would do the same then, but they just saved the entire town so a little lovin must be OKAY then.<br /><br />Overall not a bad film.<br /><br />I was sad tho to see little on Joyce Taylor online. Credits on movies but no Wikipedia entry, limited info elsewhere.<br /><br />It seems a shame that her careeer legacy be relegated to such a dim spotlight.SunTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620051928289905345.post-37901687522933739302009-05-03T22:44:00.000-04:002009-05-03T22:44:00.000-04:00I'm not at all familiar with Joyce Taylor, but she...I'm not at all familiar with Joyce Taylor, but she seems to have a wonderful overbite. As always, I'll search further. Thanks!!Goombanoreply@blogger.com
