Review of Tulsa (1949) by Dave J — 21 May 2010
Tulsa has its flaws but it's still an interesting film, sometimes it seemed to be purely propaganda, whose main strenght is Susan Hayward's performance. This actress had a lot of personality and beauty, she was perfect in this role. Robert Preston plays a jealous engineer that falls in love with Cherokee (Hayward). And Pedro Armendariz is wasted in the role of Jim, this character lacked the agressiveness, bravery and the great personality Armendariz printed in the Mexican cinema.
The topic the film talks about is actual and historic, I could learn a lot about the oil business and its production. Good picture that isn't very popular nowadays, though. Maybe the failure comes due to the cold and little developed romance between the protagonists.
