Oregon Movies, A to Z

Reasons to feel wistful about the “Lost film” status of Pillars of the Sky:

1. Joseph, Oregon filmed in Technicolor and in Cinemascope.

2. Ward Bond plays an intellectual

3. Lee Marvin, in an early role, test drives an Irish accent

4. Based on a book by a novelist whose day job was writing gags for Tex Avery

What little is available to read about this film describes a Western in which the traditional cowboys vs Indians narrative is contaminated/decayed/made more historically accurate by including Christian Indians and atheistic white people in story line.

Has anyone seen Pillars Of the Sky?
