Lacking royal approval

 

Campbell's Kingdom (1957)


Directed by Ralph Thomas this film based on the novel of the same name stars Dirk Bogard, Stanley Baker and Barbara Murray. A man with a terminal illness inherits land in the Canadian Rocky Mountains where his grandfather believed there was oil.


Despite being based on a best selling novel the plot of this film is nothing special. North Westerns are a little bit rare but that is not really enough to carry this film. There are times when it is pretty clear the scope of the film escapes the film maker's budget and ability.


2/5
