Black Gold

Carey (Granny Goose in later years) is the oil wildcatter, Akins is the heavy. Lots of wasted time in between the few moments of action. This was an introductory film in that it featured several performers heretofore unseen or only granted small roles. Under the direction of Martinson (PT-109 among others), they don't get much of an opportunity to strut their stuff. The script is a softie to begin with and has every idea about oil imaginable. The only problem is that the ideas were thought of long before this picture was made.
