a5c7b9f00b Jessie Crain&#39;s niece, Sharon, wants to escape from the ranch in Nevada to life in the city. To earn money for this move, Jessie decides to sell the timber on 200 acres of her land and she hires rough-tough Kelly Hansen to oversee the work. Kelly soon falls for Sharon but she&#39;s wooed by one of the timberjacks who seems to bear Kelly a grudge. Kelly Hansen, the tough boss of a timber crew clearing property owned by Jessie Crain and her niece, Sharon Wilks, is, unknown to anybody else, working to pay back money stolen by his brother, Joe Roberts, who has a changed name, and no love for his brother. Justthe debt is about paid-off, Joe is killed in a truck accident, which starts a blazing forest fire. The strong performances of Agnes Mooreheada widowed country land owner and William Demaresther suitor are the best things in this colorful adventure, which stars John Payne. Some familiar supporting players also help move the movie along, and Susan Morrow plays Miss Moorehead&#39;s niece,and Mr Payne&#39;s love interest, of course. There is logging scenes, wide open country shots, andthe title implies, a big fire. A fairly good 90 minute &#39;B&#39; movie action adventure (good drive-in material). The logging industry gets a look in The Blazing ForestAgnes Moorehead wants to sell off some timber acreage to give her niece Jo Morrow a start in life. For that reason she hires John Payne and Bill Demarest to bring in the logs. <br/><br/>Demarest contributes the financing from a settlement involving a logging accident, but Payne is the hard driving crew chief of the loggers. He has a need for money and it has to do with a no good reprobate of a brother played by Richard Arlen.<br/><br/>The film is shot in some nice color and the climax involving a forest fire is well staged. This Pine-Thomas B film from Paramount is a credit to all involved in the making.
