The Big Trees (1952)

An American drama directed by Felix E. Feist, starring Kirk Douglas.
A greedy and corrupt man moves his logging business to California. He meets with resistance from the religious settlers there when he plans to chop down the giant sequoia trees. When another logging company shows up to compete for the sequoia trees, they try to assassinate the main character.
I thought the plot and characters of this film were especially well done. The audio and video were very dated, but that was not a bad thing in this case. This would all be fine, but the style was very generic and the pacing was unbearably slow. I ended up being bored for the first hour and 20 minutes and only liking the action scene at the end. I'm giving this a weird pink rating because I think it's very well made, but extremely boring.
