Trivia
John Wayne's first film in Technicolor.

One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.

Goofs
* Continuity: About 13 minutes before the end of the movie, when Young Matt leaves the house where Old Matt, Aunt Mollie and Sammy are tending to Pete after Pete was shot, Sammy follows, shutting and latching the door behind her. A few minutes later when Old Matt leaves, the door is standing wide open.

* Factual errors: It would be quite impossible for Granny Becky (who has been blind her entire life) to be able to instantly recognize the familial similarities between Young Matt and Old Matt right after her eye bandages were removed.

Hi,
Filmed on location at Big Bear, Duke began work on this film,
accompanied by Marlene Deitrich, who stayed, at a hotel near the lake, Naughty Duke !!!!!
The film was based on Harold Bell Wright's best selling novel of 1907.
It was Duke's first film in Technicolor.
Duke worked well with Henry Hathaway, considering in these early days, he was pretty scathing about Duke's acting abilities.
However, they must have worked things out, as he was to eventually win Duke his only Academy Award!!
He Said,
Wayne, never was an actor...and because, he wasn't an actor, he had to do everything real..
There wasn't anything in Duke,that would allow him to pretend he was something.
He couldn't be French, he couldn't have an accent, he couldn't be Olivier.
Whatever the actor was called to do in the script, he did it.
It wasn't a question of acting, it was a question of reality.
Harry Carey, his hero, played a very apt Father,
with a fine cast of, Beulah Bondi, Marjorie Main, and Ward Bond, supporting.
Author: telegonus from brighton, ma.From IMDb
The Henry Hathaway-directed 1941 Shepherd Of the Hills is worth seeing if for nothing else its color,
which is as glorious and gorgeous as one will find in a film. Each outdoor shot is like a landscape painting.
Along with Gone With the Wind and The Four Feathers, this is the finest use of color I have seen in a movie, and it should be used as a textbook on how to shoot a film in color. Otherwise, the picture is just a pleasing and old-fashioned revenge tale, adapted from a now forgotten novel, and set in the Ozark Mountains at about the turn of the twentieth century.
It is nicely written in the idiom of the mountain folk, and features John Wayne in an early, rare non-western role,
which he handles proficiently. Betty Field is his spunky love interest in what would now be an Amy Madigan part.
Miss Field is lovely in a non-conventional way; she shines as never before or since.*
The combination of her quiet, almost mousy beauty in an otherwise talky, assertive role is fascinating to watch.*
Also on hand are Beulah Bondi, Ward Bond, Marc Lawrence, who gives an amazing performance,
and Harry Carey, whose pleasantness and plainness I find tiring, though I suppose he's well-cast.
There's a ritualistic feeling to the film, with its clearly defined notions of good and evil,
the almost formally informal dialect the characters use, the leisurely, strolling pace by which the story unfolds,*
all contribute to its pastoral quality. The chief problem is that there's no suspense.*
One senses early on how the thing is going to end, and the characters behave as one would expect.

I like this film very much and thought it almost seemed to touch on some sort of cult.
When watching it, I felt transported, into some mysterious, insular, backwater world,
where everyone spoke strangely, I think Beulah, and Marjorie, as they said in the film,
"Put the hecks on me"
Critics, found the story dated, too sentimental and sweet, and full of platitudes.
However, when the film opened, it was a big production, from a big studio,
and served as another boost in Duke's career.
Rating 7/10

Hi all,
This movie certainly deserved a bigger descussion. Ever time I watch it - I found it more and more enjoying. What is good in it is a very quiet athmosphere and beautiful landscapes. It is some magic in this movie which is hard to catch in words.
I shall watch it again this evening and try to write more to put my two cents worth. :)

Well said, Keith! I felt the same way about this film. I often find myself unable to put into words what I think. You captured it. I love this film because I feel it takes me back into the story. I love the Ozarks. And something about Betty Fields draws you to her. She did an enchanting job with this part.
For those of you who also like to read, I highly recommend the book. The story line is similar, with a few changes. It is well written and hard to put down. This film will always be in my top ten.

Hi Popol Vuh,
I feel exactly in opposite way. I know that the storyline isn't great and may be dated , but it is so big joy to watch the sceenes, I remember this movie not because of scenes but because of beautifully shoot and composed scenes. The first one - were Sammy sings to protect her father, when Harrey Carey came first to Sarah's home, when they meet with Duke in the medow in the final, Duke listening to his Dad and Sammy speaking and the very final with landscapes with sheep and sun through trees, very religios mooded if I can say so. Each part of this movie are shoot like an art work, so it is sure is som static in the whole. But I always catch myself on the thought that I want even slower pace to enjoy each moment. This is the magic of the film and at the same time it is a fault of it becouse it is not for people who enjoy thrilling action.
Regards,
Senta :rolleyes:

While I enjoyed this movie, I don't feel drawn to watch it again. I've seen it three or four times. There are great performances by Harry Carey, John Wayne and others. But for some reason, I haven't felt compelled to watch it more often. That's one thing about John Wayne movies, they affect different folks differently, which is why they are so popular - what one person doesn't like, someone else will (and vice versa) :D .

What an extraordinary piece of a forgotten work! The acting of especially Betty Field, but some others too, is manic, giving the movie an electrified atmosphere which is balanced by delicate cinematography of the landscape. Duke is somewhat out-of-place in the company, but as he's portraying a young mislead guy, it's ok

Help!

Well the family and I all settled down to watch this fine movie for the first time last night - I had Tivoed it several months ago - and we got down to the big conclusion where JW is lying on the bed after he's been operated on and his dad has just explained why he left and why he shot his son cause he would rather kill him than see him go to prison like he had done when the *(&%$# thing stopped. It just stopped and didn't record to the end of the movie!

I don't mean to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie but would someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what happens next?!

How does the movie end?

Thanks!

Hi,

Well basically, without going into too much detail.
Young Matt, comes to grips with the fact his father
is a true Shepherd of the Hills.
He lives happily ever after with his
mountain sweetheart. AAh!!

Well good, thanks Keith!

I have to say I enjoyed this film very much. It has a good message namely that hate and evil will kill you.

I liked how the good and the bad were portrayed in this film and I liked seeing Duke's character trying to work through it.

And for those of you who thought you were getting some kind of peek into a vanishing subculture, well you were.

I've met true hillbillies, as we used to call them. They were wise in the ways of their world yet recognized and, to some degree, feared the outside world whose values they did not identify with or understand.

They valued their place in the world, their homes, their families, their hills.

We could learn a thing or two from them.

I searched for Shepherd of the Hills by itself, and it is available on VHS for around $20 - $30, but is of course available in the Americon Icon Collection referenced above, for less than $20 for 5 movies.

It's amazing how much more available John Wayne movies have become on DVD, in the past twelve months.

Still a good film, I paid £5.99 as well for this one,

Watched Shepherd of the Hills today. First time for quite awhile.

Have to say it is a strong Harry Carey movie with also a strong performance from Betty Field. Ward Bond was wasted I think he had one line plus a knife throwing.

In regard to John Wayne's performance I really think he is playing second fiddle to Harry.

A so so movie

Hey y'all...

Just finished watching this over the weekend. I'd never seen it before and thought it was pretty enjoyable. I liked Harry Carey and Beulah Bondi was really good, too.

I'm a little confused as to why Duke's character needed to kill his old man. I may have missed or forgotten something, as I only had time to watch the movie in bits & pieces. They thought Harry Carey (as Duke's dad) brought a curse upon the family because he wasn't there when Duke's mom died?

It was fun watching Duke engaged in fisticuffs with Ward Bond. Not quite a fight of epic proportions like Duke & Victor McLaglen, but still a couple of heavyweights going at it. I'll bet they had a good laugh over it offscreen.

Duke was his usual self. I loved the scene where he comes home and senses that something's amiss (when he discovers that they've sold his mother's land). I also like the relationship he had with the mute cousin. The scene of Pete trying to catch dust motes in the sunlight was really beautifully shot.

I know Henry Hathaway isn't as well known as Ford or Hawks, but he did a lot of Duke's films and they're all pretty solid, IMO.

If I remember correctly it was that dad was blamed for killing his mom, or was it someone else and that was why he wasn't there... The real driving force was the hate of the one woman, his aunt I think. (sorry it has been a while since I watched the movie)

I agree with all of you. Shepherd of the Hills is a very good movie, and very under rated in my opinion. Although I have to admit I'm biased, but I think it had several Oscar moments. As a side note, I have read that while on the set of Shepherd of the HIlls, Duke and Olive Carey were talking, and Duke mentioned that he didn't want to get typecast into westerns. That he wanted to branch out and try other roles. Sort of expand his acting repretoire (I'm sure I spelled that wrong!). But Olive Carey told him that the fans loved him just as he was, just as they loved Harry Carey as he was, and if Duke was smart, then he would work to please his fans, rather than become an "artsy fartsy" (my words, not hers) actor. I'm glad Duke took her advice.
Best to All,

This is one of (in my opinion) Duke's best films. The entire cast and writers got the family lifestyle correct for the mountaineers.
Back to your question Jen.
The reason JW wanted to kill Harry Carey was for him abandoning the family. That's well known. If you were watching the movie in fits and starts, then you probably missed Harry Carey's explanation as to why he was not present to help.
Watch in the scene for HC does explain, and the reason was he was in prison.
Colorado Bob was rite in his post. I think Betty Field should have won an oscar for her portrayal. The cross she makes in the dirt before she heads onto the supposedly haunted land is just one of the little things that makes this movie special.

May 8th, 2007, 12:41 PM
Thanks, everyone.

Ethan, I got that Duke felt it was abandonment, but I guess I didn't think that seemed sufficient to warrant wanting to kill his dad, though at some level I can obvioulsy understand his hurt and anger. Anyway, I was wondering if I had missed something else.

Yes, I remember when he explained why he wasn't there for Sarah's passing. It was while Duke was just coming out of his fog, and Betty Field & Harry Carey are talking about him while silhouetted against his canopy or whatever.

That was the one scene in the movie, btw, that didn't seem quite right to me. It seemed a little rushed and kind of cheesy the way it all came out right there and Duke just happened to wake up and hear it. Oh well.

Hi Jen,

Yes I will admit that the scene with the explanation seems somewhat clumsy, but for lack of a better explanation the director probably thought it was an ideal scene to end with.
You must remember that studios in those days limited production to only so many days, and or, so many feet of film to be shot. It's quite possible that's why they ended it like they did. If Matt had gotten healthy that would have led to increased production and as everyone knows studios were hard pressed by WWII to stay in the black.

I'm way more than a day late and a dollar short here, but just thought I'd mention that I understand how Hollywood was in those days and movies sometimes just don't come out quite the way we'd like them to (even today).

Reminds me a bit of the end of Red River. Joanne Dru gives the boys a good talking to and suddenly a raving madman maniac is best friends with his surrogate son again. :wink_smile: It's a bit of a blight on an otherwise perfect (or nearly perfect) film.

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.

A Girl Named Jen
May 15th, 2007, 10:30 AM
Yes, I really liked the scene with Granny Becky getting her vision. It was beautifully shot and very touching. And it does make sense that his aunt kind of poisoned him against his father. As we learn after Pete gets his gift of speech back (a parallel to Granny Becky?), the aunt was the real curse.

Thanks for the recommendation on the book. I've meant to look for it.

Cheers!

Hello, everyone. I'm a newby. I very much appreciate this particluar thread on this site. When I was scrolling about as a "guest" and saw this thread, I knew I had to join. I very much like this movie and consider it an underappreciated film by the general classic movie-seeing public. I Think, "The Shepherd..." is a wonderful film.

erthomp143
May 16th, 2007, 12:13 PM
I just watched this movie again the other day, thanks to this thread. The reason the aunt turned Matt against his pa was superstition. They pass over it kind of quick, when Matt’s uncle is drunk and speaking his mind at the table he states why. The aunt saw Matt’s mother die and one that sees death will be the next one to die, unless the one that caused the death dies first, or something real close to that. So it seems that the aunt was motivated by fear that she was going to die next. Each time I watch this movie I seem to find subtler story lines than I noticed the time before. This move is moving up my favorites list…

Hello Jen; I too really enjoyed this film and like Dukefan1 says you should read the book.I got the book and the movie on vhs about 5 years ago off of e-bay and I think I got a small treasure. The book is a bit different but not disapointingly so.Hollywood has based alot of movies on books and some were horrid.I think the root of Matts problem (and most of the hill folks) was aunt Peg.Her superstitions and ignorance spilled over the whole mountain but that just my slant on the film.I am still in awe every time I watch this film with the beautiful scenery and vistas.It looks very rugged and remote.Anyone know where it was filmed and is it still as beautiful???.If you get the chance Jen,or any other fan,Read the book.You will enjoy it.Harold Bell Wright is the author.Did he wright any other books that movies were based on???Enough for now...SaddleTramp...

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.

I agree absolutely with what you say about Hollywood and the King books. I remember a few years ago reading "Pet Cemetery" in one sitting, finishing about 2:30am, and not being able to get any sleep that night. A few years later when the movie came out, I almost puked at how bad and laughable it was.

Thanks, erthomp143. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention at that point in the movie. Maybe I was painting my toenails or something. :wink_smile:

Now it makes perfect sense. It seems that superstitions such as those were pretty common with "hill" or "backwoods" people years ago - and in some cases probably still are.

So now I need to read the book for this movie AND for Red River!

Just got back from traveling trough Shepherd of the Hills country - the Ozarks. Even stopped at the "Shepherd of the Hills" tourist trap in Branson, where I took the tour of the old homestead, and learned a few interesting things...

*The Characters from the novel were all based on real people...the names were changed and the story was completely fiction, but many of the aspects of the novel were based on people and stories that writer Harold Bell Wright knew about while staying in the Ozarks.

*The people in that area are not crazy about the movie that Duke starred in, because the screenplay strayed so far from the original novel. According to the tour guide, Duke made an appearance to the homestead, I believe he said the 60's, to apologize to the people of the area because he knew what the novel meant to them.

When I got home I popped the DVD in a watched it for the first time in while....good movie. While Duke gets top billing, it's really more of a Harry Carey movie, as he plays the story's protagonist. While it's true that's it's a completely different story than the novel, the movie tells a good little story in it's own right.

I watched The Shepherd Of The Hills today for THE FIRST TIME! - I have never seen this John Wayne movie before, because it was released in German language on DVD for the first time a few months ago...

I liked the movie! I felt, The Shepherd Of The Hills is very different from other Duke-movies, not that much action, more psychology but interesting and thrilling from the very first minute to the last. A great character role for the Duke and a job well done by all the other actors. Wonderful!
