Regarding the Technicolor, Greene points out that there are some "quite stunning views of trees carving enormous arcs against the sky as they fall," but he also observes that the "rapid cutting and quick dissolves corroborate the assumption that color will push the film back technically twelve years." In The Sunday Times, Sydney Carroll reviewed the movie critically and mainly objected to the melancholy Technicolor technologies brutal handling of the arboreal flora. Greene also sarcastically observed the reactions of more seasoned critics and highlighted paragraphs from Sydney Carrolls review of the movie. | James Oliver Curwood God'S Country-And The Woman Paperback Book
