What Deep Valley Is About

A shy girl on a California farm attaches herself, hopelessly, to Barry Burnett, an escapee from the chain gang cutting a road through the wilderness. She hides him, protects him and believes she has finally got hold of something that was never hers before. Jean Negulesco's 1947 film sits exactly on the border between melodrama and noir, using the woods as both refuge and trap. Ida Lupino plays the girl and Dane Clark the fugitive. The way Lupino carries loneliness is the best thing in it, and she takes nearly the whole emotional weight herself.
