As a work in color photography, "God's Country and The Woman" is unexcelled, but the plot, while appropriate to the scenery, is weak. It is the old, old tale of the valiant young girl who for reasons of her own carries on a man's job against tremendous odds, only to break down and become a woman again when the right man comes along.
In this case Beverly Roberts departs from her customary Junior League Portrayals' and becomes the heroic young miss who runs a logging outfit somewhere up in "God's Country." George Brent, as the man in question, not only brings out the eternal feminine in her but frustrates her competitor when he tries to block up the river. The fact that the competitor is Mr. Brent's brother only makes his sacrifice for the woman he loves all the more noble.
The technicolor is invaluable in a picture of this sort, and the logging sequences are particularly well done. Admirers of tall timber and crashing cataracts will be right in their element.
The companion picture, "Mind Your Own Business" is a routine charles Ruggles production, showing the formitable Charlie as the Bird and Nature Editor of a daily paper.
