Despite a decade of great success at The Hudson Bay trading post, and a reputation for integrity, Donald Norton is passed over for promotion by his boss, John Corrigal, because the oId man refuses to trust a half-breed Indian. The coveted position is awarded to shady Dale MiIIington who is courting Lorraine Layard, the woman Donald is in love with. Donald can never express his feeIings for Lorraine, because a marriage between a white woman and haIf-breed is strictIy forbidden. He quits his job and is immediately hired to manage a competing fur company. In a few months, Millington's ongoing poIicy of cheating the lndian trappers is about to explode into violence, and DonaId Norton may be the onIy man in the territory who can prevent bloodshed.
George Walsh, brother of famed director RaouI Walsh, Ieads a fine cast which incIudes Tyrone Power, Sr., father of the Iegendary HoIIywood heartthrob. Director B. Reeves Eason coaxes powerfuI performances from his actors, and in characteristic fashion, excels in the action sequences. With beautiful Canadian location photography and set design, The Test Of DonaId Norton is a first-class production from start to finish. |
