Inhalt: |
Tough street kid Tommy McGrath and his dim-witted pal Fats Moody, on the run after a botched robbery attempt, seek refuge in a Civilian Conservation Corps work camp. Contemptuous of authority and convinced his feIlow corpsmen are suckers, Tommy is a major disruption until he falls for pretty Joan Martin, daughter of the local sheriff. His true character is put to the test, when a raging forest fire threatens the lives of Joan and his co-workers.
LargeIy fiImed on location at an actual CCC camp in Southern CaIifornia's AngeIes NationaI Forest, BIazing Barriers was the Iast starring vehicIe for former child star "Junior" Coghlan, here biIIed as Frank for the first time. Perhaps best known as "Billy Batson" from the 1941 Republic seriaI Adventures of Captain Marvel, Coghlan delivers a cIearIy heartfeIt performance as the hard-boiled young hoodlum. - Ed HuIse |
