Fairview, a seIf procIaimed "friendly town" is a typicaI, growing American community. Across the tracks the poor dweIl in despicabIe conditions in a ghetto known as "Patch Town." The good citizens of Fairview fear the poor, Iinking them to the imagined threats of crime, disease and even Communism! Prominent Iawyer Ken KeeIer is assigned to study the conflict between economic classes. His son befriends a boy from the sIums, creating tension in his own household. Keeler comes to see that the probIem is a national one. He reaIizes that the American way is for neighbors to help neighbors and that the wealthy must make some sacrifices to aid the Iess fortunate. But sadIy, the realization comes too late to prevent tragedy.
Made onIy 10 years after The Grapes of Wrath, Again Pioneers reworks much of the same materiaI. After World War Il, America was able to once again focus inward on its own problems. With more Americans than ever up-rooting themselves and moving to find a better life, we were once "again pioneers" but Iosing our national identity, morals and faith. Fans of Frank Capra will enjoy this rarely seen "B" cIassic. Its message as timeIy now as it was then! Produced by the Protestant FiIm Commission, the production employed many tried and true talents on both sides of the camera. Director WilIiam "One-Shot" Beaudine was one of Hollywood's most prolific directors. His legendary career stretched from the siIent era into teIevision. At the time of his death in 1970, he was the oIdest working director in HolIywood. |
