Editorial Reviews

Libby Saul (Ida Lupino) was raised in the Deep Valley. Isolated on a farm with her bitter parents, her only friend a devoted dog, Libby knows loneliness too well. Then a crew of convicts arrives to build a road and Libby is fascinated by the strangers, especially a good-looking hothead named Barry (Dane Clark). When Barry escapes his work gang, Libby offers him shelter - a gesture of kindness that awakens her timid soul. Lupino gives further proof of her remarkable dramatic range with a sensitive portrayal of an awkward, stuttering girl transformed by love. And director Jean Negulesco (Johnny Belinda), with a painterly appreciation of light and shadow, captures the wild beauty of the film's Big Sur locations.

This review is from: Deep Valley (DVD)

Warner Bros. Pictures presents "DEEP VALLEY" (1951) (104 min/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- A young girl, raised on a small, remote farm by parents who haven't talked to each other in years, falls in love with a convict who has escaped from a nearby road gang --- As the posse closes in, the couple realizes that the young convict's uncontrollable acts of rage have, and will, prevent them from enjoying the happy life they had planned for each other.

The fabulous Lupino at her star-crossed best!
