Film on 4 - the tall trees, Kirk Douglas

[blazer]

Happened to spot this film on 4 this afternoon, made in 1952 as per normal the film was the same as any Western from the era but the good bit was authentic film of big trees being felled by axe & cross cut saws. They showed some really good shots, including working left/right handed with axes putting a gob in on a really big tree, and a row of say x6 steel wedges being hammered in the crosscut slot to fell the tree - could be good for my upcoming CS32:lol:

 

It also showed big logs being moved off hills with steam engines into rivers etc but as it wore on it reminded me of wet Sunday afternoons as a kid watching boring films so I switched off, when the baddies felled a big tree over some 'old boys log cabin' as if he didn't have time to get out using a cross cut:sneaky2:

It is on from time to time, always worth a look.

Seen it, it's ace, especially when the tree drops on the house:)
