The Cruel Tower: Review

A dizzying story which focuses on the sky-high conflicts of two steeplejacks in love with the same woman. McGraw is the crew boss who gives the acrophobic Ericson a chance to work in high rigs. Blanchard is the indecisive woman below torn between McGraw's security and Ericson's love. The two rivals' dislike for one another comes to a chilling aerial climax as they settle their differences atop the tower in a well-paced and beautifully photographed melodrama. leave a comment
