Another well done classic from Warner Brothers
This is an excellent film but this copy is not complete. The scenes between Richard Basehart and Clare Bloom that establish his character's growing love and her indifference, and the scene between Maria Schell and Clare Bloom (which was in the preview) that shows the fantasy relationship Bloom's character has confected with Yul Brenner's character are missing. This wonderful film has been beautifully remastered (restored?) but needlessly cut. What is going on?

The Big Sky
"The Big Sky" is a great movie on several levels. First, Howard Hawks has given us a big sprawling good guys vs. bad guys western in his tale of the opening of the upper Missouri by French fur traders in the 1830's. Kirk Douglas, Dewey Martin, and the traders are well rounded out good-guy characters that work well together. And, Hawks develops them into the perfect group to pit against the evil fur company and the hostile Crow indians. Also, you can't beat the humor and the wisdom that Hawks injects throughout the movie through "Uncle Zeb", the narrator/guide character played by Arthur Hunnicutt.
On a different level, this movie is about the ways that literally all the other characters help Dewey Martin's character give up the hatred he nurses against the indians. By the end of the movie his character turns completely from the hatred based on a lie to the love of a Blackfoot maiden that is based on truth.
The film suffers from the 3 x 4 format in which it was made. Cinemascope lenses wern't available in 1951 when the film was shot, and the spectacular Wyoming scenery that Howard Hawks used seems a bit cramped. The film was also shot in black and white. The colorized version shows very well, though.
