Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

davidjanuzbrown I like a good disaster movie (Towering Inferno and Twister come to mind). What is odd about this movie is it is one that I avoided for many years because I did not think I would like it. It used to run a lot on TV but it was not shown in years. I finally decided to record it, and wow. I do not know what was hotter the forest fire or Joyce Taylor. All jokes aside and spoilers ahead. This movie was shot in location in Oregon and it shows. The most harrowing part is where one dropped cigarette by bad guy Frank Gorshin creates a Forrest fire that burns down an entire town and the hero Sergeant Steve Walsh ( David Janssen) With underage girl Bobbie Adams( Taylor) take a train into town so that they can rescue everyone. The entire train trip going through a well 'Ring Of Fire' is incredible. The relationship between Steve and Bobbie is to say the least complicated. She is one of three criminals who kidnap Steve, and she saves him twice from getting killed, then after throwing herself at him and accuses him of statutory rape( which he does not do). But when he gets on the train to save everyone she goes along and despite numerous times telling her to get off she remains right to the end. Because she was that devoted to him, she does win his love. At the end he lets her know she is special and "If they ( the town) can start over, so can you." He finally kisses her at the end, and you know he will marry her. This movie should be a must see for the fire and Taylor.

Peter_Wisniewski Yes indeed, the Ring of Fire 1961 w/ David Janson is a great movie. I only but wish to God that this movie would be finally on DVD! I am very aggravated about this, namely that this and likewise certain other films, great films are not reproduced on DVD, and DVD has been out now over 10 years, for Chrit's sake!!! The same with Skyjacked, no DVD and not even a video tape! Same with Sunday in NY, oh and a few others I am desperately waiting for to come out on DVD, but no go! I think that is an outright DISGRACE! But really I do feel so abominably about not having these films available on DVD, and if not on DVD, then AT LEAST ON VHS video, at least one could have something!!!Oh well, you can't win 'em all, and you can't fight city hall! Ha, ha! I guess one option is left in such a case as this one, - if you can't beat 'em, well then join them!I wish this email could relinquish some hard influence upon the industry, but what industry, where? Anyway, that's my perspective and forest's relevant this matter. Thank you. #

maurits-6 I've just seen the movie for the first time, on German television that is. Although they dub foreign movies with sometimes strange results (John Wayne and Indians speaking German...), they make sure not to compromise a film's integrity, so atmosphere, sound quality etc. are always perfectly preserved. And I must say, this film, of 1961, managed to do what only few films have in years - the grand finale with the escaping townsfolk made me hold my breath several times and had me moved to the edge of my chair. The rest of the film is also impressive, it all looked so very lifelike. No overacting, no exaggerated pathos, yet at times even poetic. A great film which makes your heart beat faster. And in spite of its age, amidst all the licked special effects block-busters of these days a refreshing experience.Maurits Reijnen, Amsterdam

Kirasjeri An Oregon Police Sgt (an intense David Jansen) is surprised and kidnapped by two thugs and a babe who then go on a journey for freedom through the deep forests of Oregon. There are escape attempts, a death, a turning of the tables, and possible "intimate relations" with the pulchritudinous babe (Joyce Taylor, who is supposed to be "under 18" but looks 26). The movie climaxes with the entire forest and town being burned down and everyone, including hundreds of townsfolk, desperate to escape. An exciting movie, with menace and threat maintained thoroughout. Frank Gorshin is notable as the #1 thug (his pre-impressions days). A good movie.
