God's Country and the Woman is a 1937 American Technicolor lumberjack drama film directed by William Keighley and written by Norman Reilly Raine.
The film is based on a 1915 novel by James Oliver Curwood entitled God's Country and the Woman and was released by Warner Bros. on January 16, 1937.
[1][2][3] Warner Brothers' first feature-length film in full Technicolor, it was filmed on location near Mount St. Helens in Washington state, and features extensive footage of logging operations including a Willamette steam locomotive in operation.
Focusing on the Technicolor aspect of the film, Greene suggests that there are some "very pretty shots of trees cutting huge arcs against the sky as they fall", however he notes that the "fast cutting and quick dissolves confirms [his] belief that colour will put the film back technically twelve years".
Greene also wryly observed the reactions from more established critics, and quoted sections from the negative review given by The Sunday Times' Sydney Carroll whose principal complaint had been about the heartbreaking mistreatment of the arboreal foliage by the techniques of Technicolor.
