Crane Wilbur is a blacksmith in Sleepy Hollow. When rich people pass through, his ambition is fired.

It's a parable, half THE PLGRIM'S PROGRESS with characters called "Ambition", "Avarice" and "Innocence", and half wish-fulfillment fantasy, put together in an obvious way that is suitable for its Bunyanesque side, but looks obvious and dull for its other aspects. Crane Wilbur, a member of the Tyrone Power family, had entered the movies a few years earlier, and was well featured in THE PERILS OF PAULINE. His ambitions called him back to the stage, but he returned to the movies with the coming of sound, mostly as a writer and director. He continued to work until 1962, and died in 1973 at age 86.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
