Drums in the Deep South 1951
DIVISIVE BUT ENGAGING B-MOVIE...WILLIAM CAMERON MENZIES DIRECTS...HIS TRADEMARK VISUALS ENHANCES ENTERTAINMENT
2-Time Oscar Winner, William Cameron Menzies Catapulted Art-Direction to New-Levels of Prestige, Prominence, and Significance.
From the Silents to the Incredible “Invasion From Mars” (1953), He was a Dedicated Art-Professional that Utilized His Genius to such Dazzling Effect, He Virtually “Wrote the Book” on Art-Direction in Film, and its Use of Color.

"LIVE FREE OR DIE"
A Film Directed by a young Stanley Kubrick that is Unlike the Kubrick We Know and Love.
He Surrenders (ouch) to the Conventions of the Time and seems to be more than Competent but Artistically Anemic.
But Fulfilling His Contract Obligations Professionally He Delivered a Mammoth Movie that is Compelling and Timeless.
That of Humans wanting to be "Free" from Bondage, Servitude, and Inhuman Evil Entrenched in Unenlightened Power and Corruption.
