Always guaranteed to put a smile on my face!!

This little known gem of a film, is, in a way, the perfect pick me up, for whenever i'm feeling down! This is always guaranteed to put a smile on my face, with each & every viewing! Everything, from the lush cinematography, to the beautiful, vibrant colors, to the wonderful, talented cast, to the feel good story & atmosphere. It's all so perfect, in my opinion. With each viewing of this gem, I am able to escape to a beautiful utopia of early 1960's era Northern California, in the absolutely gorgeous San Bernardino National Forest, as it was. Long before, the unfortunate recent forest fires, that have sadly, largely, destroyed all this beauty, before i even had a chance, to view it, in real life. I wonder if there are any trees left standing, where Freckles (1960) was filmed? Cause i'd still like to visit these filming locations. I've always thought it'd be cool, to be a lumberjack, in the Pacific Northwest. Especially Northern California. This film, is probably the closest, I'll ever get to that dream. All of the cast do a wonderful job, & really make this story come to life. I've never read the original, 1904 Freckles novel, or seen the other 2 previous film adaptations, but I'd like to. Idk if the other 2 films will hold up to this one though. I wonder what the story is, behind why this was never released to home video? There's gotta some explanation for that. I'd give anything for an official DVD or Blu-Ray release, but for now, I'll have to settle for a DVD-R copy. Man, I wish i could be like Freckles, & run off to Northern California, & get a job, at a construction company. Protecting it from timber thieves. A perfect 10 out of 10, as far as i'm concerned!!!

The Western genre features stories set primarily in the 19th-century American Old West and often depict the rugged frontier life, exploring themes of individualism, justice, morality, and the clash between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The genre has its roots in the historical context of westward expansion and the challenges faced by pioneers, settlers, outlaws, and lawmen.
