Customer Reviews of Thunder Bay
Offbeat Stewart/Mann James Stewart and director Anthony Mann used to alternate their Western pictures with contemporary stories during the 1950's and this is one of their efforts. It's certainly one of the most unusual plots ever to make it to the American screen: about the development of offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after WW2. Stewart had his usual family of regulars around him, the best being Dan Duryea. Stewart gives a compelling portrayal of a man possessed by an industrial vision. Even his gorgeous romantic interest Joanne Dru is a minor distraction from his main love, his oil rig. Written by John Michael Hayes, who went on to write two of Stewart's classics with Hitchcock: "Rear Window" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much."
An often overlooked picture.
I can't believe I'm the first to write about this one. James Stewart plays a similar role to what Bruce Willis plays in Armageddon. He and his man come to a small town to drill for oil off the coast where most of the townfolk are fishing. Conflicts arise as whether it's safe or not. I give only four stars, because parts of the movie are cliched. In my opinion, it's one of the better Stewart pictures of that time period.
