Description

Tollie Stage hosts the 1952 forestry baron western, The Big Trees. Starring Kirk Douglas, Eve Miller, and Edgar Buchanan. Although this film is most famous for the scandal associated with its production – that Kirk Douglas agreed to make this film for free to get released from his contract with Warner Brother’s – there are still some dramatic takeaways of the sweeping storyline of greedy lumber barons, Quaker settlers, and big trees. A definite timber classic to kick of Mason County Forest Festival's Timber Days. The story is admittably a bit pat - bad makes good and gets girl, but if you are ok with being transported to another time with some classic Hollywood actors/actresses, epically large logging practices... you will enjoy this presentation. Thank you Bowman Financial, Karen Schade, Edward Jones Advisor, FM 101.9 Boomer Rock and Roll and Williams Architects for sponsoring the movies at Timber Days. .Visit masoncountyforestfestival.com for a full list of this summer's Timber Days classic film offerings – and pass the popcorn! The festival was created to help combat the destructive wildfires in the region, while also promoting the importance of forests to the local economy.
