(...and one final note here...I don't think I've ever seen a movie in which Ida Lupino ever looked more fetching than in this one)
Have you seen Road House? Ida is very fetching in the film as well, made a year after Deep Valley. Road House is the first film Ida made after not renewing with Warner Bros. Ida sings One For My Baby.
Good comments all around on Deep Valley: I think the film would have benefited from tighter editing. E.g., something like 90 minutes instead of 104.
Yep, I watched 'Road House' last year (I think) and when Eddie presented that film.
Yes, Ida is indeed very fetching in that one as well, however as I recall, in almost all her scenes in that one she's all dolled-up, and as compared to the more natural look she has in 'Deep Valley'.
And even though of course in 'Deep Valley' and as Eddie even mentioned in his intro about her "porcelain features", she's never shown without makeup (I especially noticed the lipstick applied to those bee-stung lips of hers) and even during the first part of this film and when she's supposed to be some sort of backwoods waif.
