Gold Rush Maisie

TBA • NR • Series • Catalog pick

In the third movie of the series, Maisie is a gold digger - the kind who swings a pickaxe and has only blisters to show for it. When folks strike gold in the great expanses beyond Phoenix, Brooklyn-born Maisie figures she can use her showbiz talents to find work in the boomtown settlement sure to spring up near the claims. Her plans take a turn after she befriends a migrant Arkansas family even more desperate for a lucky break than she is. Ann Sothern - snapping off one-liners, putting the kibosh on brash flirts, getting slightly loopy on spiked hot lemonade - is again a delight as Maisie Ravier in a film that, via it's depictions of uprooted sharecroppers, has overtones of the cinema landmark released just months earlier: The Grapes of Wrath. Former Our Gang regular Scotty Beckett and Virginia Weidler of The Philadelphia Story portray two children in the Dust Bowl family Maisie helps. Only the best buy direct from GRUV
