“The Romance of Rosy Ridge” — a story bristling with action, crackling with thrills — is an authentic piece of Americana.
★ ★ ★ ★
And the accent is on “The Romance” because Van Johnson has found a new and exciting darling to love in blonde, vivacious Janet Leigh (rhymes with Wheel). She’s in every sense a girl to watch.
MacKinlay Kantor’s Satevepost story, set in the embattled border states, seethes with scores of exciting scenes: night raids by black-hooded marauders; bare-knuckle fights to the death; gunplay; breathless races against the elements; lovers’ nights alone on moonlit mountainsides.
★ ★ ★ ★
Van in this new element is an elemental Van, a different Van, a man who’s really in the van.
★ ★ ★ ★
All is rosy in “The Romance of Rosy Ridge . ★ ★ ★ ★
Not far over the horizon are two other M-G-M biggies: “Song of Love”, starring Katharine Hepburn, Paul Henreid and Robert Walker, which shapes up as one of the greatest love stories of all time; “The Unfinished Dance”, in Technicolor, starring Hollywood’s biggest little star, Margaret O’Brien.

Entertainmentwise, M-G-Myy shines bright in the summer skies.

No wonrlor that between the fights and the feuds, Van finds time to sing tender love ballads to Janet Leigh — the girl of his heart — and sings as he never has before.
Gusto went into the acting of stalwart Thomas Mitchell, Marshall Thompson, Selena Royle, Dean Stockwell. Zest went into the screenplay by Lester Cole. Roy Rowland’s direction, the production of Jack Cummings have vigor and taste.
