It's a little hard to judge because I (legally) downloaded a copy from, I think, the National Film Archive site? Eh, some site that has all sorts of public domain stuff available. My point is the quality of the file was rather poor, but from what I could see and hear, it was amateur actors extolling drilling for oil. Not bad, but kind of weird.

well, the photography is nice. the story is agonizingly thin and really drags. the characters are bland and the performances are dry and passionless--the most spirited character is probably the raccoon. the dialogue is scant, and a good portion of it is in unsubtitled French. if Standard Oil wanted to promote an environmentally-friendly image of themselves, they didn't need this 78-minute yawn-fest to do it. decent score, decent photography, but overall a dull, pointless film.

Documentaries are always pilloried for how "true" they are. This isn't a story about an oil well, it's a picture of a way of life, and there it succeeds. Beautifully shot and very touching, it was financed by Standard Oil and certainly doesn't show them in a bad light. But they didn't ruin the bayou, the Corps of Engineers did. Lovely to watch, but I'd recommend Man of Aran or Nanook of the North over it.

A powerful, swooning visualization of a wilderness childhood.

A striking nonfiction work by Robert Flaherty of "Nanook of the North" fame. The journalist in me kept wondering how much of this was staged/contrived, but it's undeniably affecting.
