This is commonly known as Jean Renoir's first American film (1941), although Renoir scholar Alexander Sesonske has established that Renoir's creative role in the project was severely hampered by producer Darryl F. Zanuck and that he didn't regard much of the film as his own. (The ending, for instance, was written by Zanuck and directed by Irving Pichel.) Nevertheless, the film has certain beauties and pleasures. Part of it was shot in Georgia's Okefenokee swamp, and the treatment of the small community living ~Censored~ is often pungent and distinctive.
雷诺阿在好莱坞拍的第一部片，整个故事包括大团圆的结局都很好莱坞，没看出很多雷诺阿的痕迹，不过影片本身还算精彩
补标：【百人千影】NO.004让·雷诺阿第20部电影
个性鲜明的角色，曲折而精巧的故事，一切源自好剧本。非常好莱坞的电影，虽然导演是让·雷诺阿。
后半部分步步暗示汤姆要遭遇不测最后却是个大团圆的结局。难道这就是反高潮？不过故事还是很曲折的，Virginia Gilmore的表演确实很生动
雷诺阿进入美国市场首部，西部片，镜头取景依然很养眼，内容就很平
