  • The Shepherd Of The Hills (1941)

    It was filmed at:


    Big Bear Lake, California
    Branson, Missouri
    Cedar Lake, Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino National Forest, California


    Hollyweird usually does a poor job of going from book to the big screen, they really abort the Stephen King books.


    If you ever want filming locations, or just more info on a movie, check out imdb.com for all sorts of movie information. Just ignore the comments, there seem to be a lot of kids with nothing to do except mess with the movies and their ratings. You can also find info out at Hollywood.com for most movies as well.

    Quote from dukefan1

    I though that young Matt (Duke) was told all his life that he had to kill his father for leaving his mother and bringing upon them a curse that will only be lifted with his father's death.

    I also loved the book by Harold Bell Wright. It is different than the movie (characters are the same, but story line differs), but well written and hard to put down. I recommend it to the readers on this site. You can sometimes find a copy of it on ebay pretty cheap.

    I think that came about from his witch of an aunt or whatever she was to Wayne, turned him against his Pa and he swore to kill him if they ever met. I liked that movie, Granny getting her eyesight back, Harry Carey Sr., Ward Bond both were great. Although I think Bond only had a couple lines.

    Plot: Young Matt Masters (John Wayne), an Ozark Mountains moonshiner, hates the father he has never seen, who apparently deserted Matt's mother and left her to die. His obsession contributes to the hatred rampant in the mountains. However, the arrival of a stranger, Daniel Howitt, begins to positively affect the mountain people, who learn to shed their hatred under his gentle influence. Still, Matt does not quite trust Howitt who turns out to be his Matt's father and bought the old family property from the wicked witch I mean aunt.
