		Oliver was hired to repeat her Icebound duties for the film cameras in 1924, and though not technically her film debut, she would always list Icebound as her starting point in cinema.
		Oliver worked for virtually all the big studios in the '30s, at one point starring briefly in the Hildegarde Withers mystery series, a role she seemed born to play.
		By 1940, Edna May Oliver was a law unto herself (even dictating what hours she would and wouldn't work) and filmakers wisely allowed her to use all the acting tricks at her disposal, from her famous loud sniff of distaste to her low, claxonish voice.

		Adding immeasurable value to the proceedings is veteran character actress Edna May Oliver; playing yet another horse-faced spinster, she steals practically every scene she’s in.
		A spinster with a large farm, Sarah McKlennar (Edna May Oliver), comes to their rescue when she hires Gilbert to work as a field hand and gives the Martins a place to stay.
		The rugged life of the farm and frontier doesn't always sit well with Lana, who was raised in wealthy and comfortable circumstances; in time she develops a thicker skin and learns to love their new life in the Mohawk Valley, especially after giving birth to their first son.

		But best of all is Edna May Oliver, whose Betsy Trotwood bustles through the movie like a no-nonsense field general (if Oscars for supporting acting had been invented in 1935 instead of 1936, Oliver surely would have bagged the first award).
		Good intentions and imposing ambitions are plentiful enough in the making of movies, but woefully rare are the instances where technical excellence, good taste and judgement and an intelligent sense of the rightness of things combined to bring thowe intentions and ambitions to a successful issue.
		Oliver, Rathbone, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Lionel Barrymore are all superb in their respective roles, while Fields musters up an unforgettably charming mix of eccentricity and warmth as Micawber, a role he seemed born to play.

		She and Fonda have zero appeal together, which makes sense in the early scenes of newlywed panic but carries on throughout the entire picture, even after they've built up their family and farm.
		Ford regulars Ward Bond and an eye-patched John Carradine pop up as welcome familiar faces, but Academy Award nominee Edna May Oliver's turn as a straight-talking, crusty old widow is a performance of never-ending crass bluster.
		When she refuses to move from her bed as the stereotypical grunting Injuns are burning her house down, you're placed in the disconcerting position of wishing homicide upon a supposedly noble frontierswoman, if only to make her shut her yap.

	Drums Along the Mohawk DVD - Michael Weise Productions
		Colbert's glamorous and sophisticated looks (in spite of the period costumes) seem out of place in the American frontier and, as others have pointed out, the leading couple is upstaged by the supporting cast (like Edna May Oliver) and especially by the beautiful color cinematography.
		DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK was one of the greatest triumphs of the greatest year in film history, 1939, and it still packs a wallop after almost seventy years.
		Starring two of the finest talents of the era, Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda the film was directed by the legendary John Ford and features an Oscar-nominated performance as Edna May Oliver as a harsh on the outside, soft on the inside pioneer widow.

	dOc DVD Review: Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) - Printable
		As a director, John Ford was many things, but revisionist wasn't one of them; his films, for better or worse, embody the values of manifest destiny, and that couldn't be more clear here.
		Ford never had much of a touch for comedy, and this movie is no exception; the principal bad guy doesn't get much screen time, but his eye patch and his Tory politics are a dead giveaway, and when he, Caldwell (John Carradine), teams up with the crazed Senecas to attack the settlers, it's no surprise.
		Especially memorable, too, is Edna May Oliver, as a flinty frontier widow with the proverbial heart of gold; she takes a shine to the Martins, though her one remaining goal in life now is to die in the house that her late husband built.

		Cukor has assembled a wonderful cast to tell the story of David from his chilhood to manhood and the sometimes harrowing adventures he has on the way.
		There are many unforgettable charectarisations most notably W.C. Fields as Micawber, Edna May Oliver's Aunt Bessie, Roland Young as the sceming Uriah Heep and Basil Rathbone as the downright unpleasant Mr Murdstone.
		Freddie Bartholomew as the boy David is actually far more effective than Frank Lawton's portrayl of the man David who is rather bland in the role but that is certainly not enough to spoil the film.

	DVD Review:
		When it comes to their valley, in the form of hitherto-peaceable Indians whipped up by a gaunt Tory with an eyepatch (John Carradine), life changes as though with the passing of a cloud shadow.
		(Utah's Wasatch mountain country stands in persuasively for upstate New York in pioneer days.) Edna May Oliver scored a best-supporting-actress Oscar nomination as a memorably crusty frontier widow, while Ward Bond--oddly omitted from the opening credits--claimed a place of honor in the John Ford Stock Company playing Fonda's best friend.
		I'm not a fan of the John Ford/Henry Fonda films, but despite my reservations I got this film because of Claudette Colbert.
