Allegheny Uprising

Allegheny Uprising (1939) starring John Wayne, Claire Trevor, George Sanders, Brian Donlevy. In 1759, a few years before the War for Independence, a valley of Pennsylvania colonists rises up against British rule, led by Jim Smith (Wayne). Trevor plays Wayne's romantic interest, and she's one scrappy frontierswoman. This is quite the colonial tale, though obviously shot on a low budget. It succeeds in entertaining, and is said to be based on a true story. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
