Quiz
While this movie version is set in the Pacific Northwest, due to available forested filming locations, the original story by Gene Straton Porter (Freckles) was set in Indiana. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois were all heavily forested, swampy land, most of which was logged and drained for farmland in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Porter was a conservationist, and used the medium of fiction to preserve and promote the land she grew up in. She also wrote a follow-up story, "Girl of the Limberlost."

Well crafted story of a young man's coming of age in frontier America

Nick, a handicapped orphan from Chicago, is in search of his father in the American frontier of the early 20th century. Simon, another vagabond youth, befriends Nick and the two settle in a small town centered on the local logging operations. Nick gets a job with the local logging company and is smitten with a local girl while Simon hooks up with those that are stealing from the lumbermen.

When the two sides reach their inevitable confrontation, Nick must confront his demons.

This is a well told story that starts a bit slow but has some great moments. It's interesting to see how the `city boy' discovers the wonders of nature. The toothsome Christian Campell, Neve's brother does a credible job in the lead role but looks enough like his sister that anyone who is familiar with her work gets a sense of déjà vu throughout.
