Ben Ragan (Dana Andrews) and
Ben Ragan (Dana Andrews) and a search party comb the outskirts of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia for two lost trappers. Ben's hound dog, Trouble (Fleeter), runs away. Ben does not find Trouble at home, and decides to return to the swamp, despite the protests of his stern father, Thursday Ragan (Walter Huston).
Ben bids farewell to his sweetheart, Mabel McKenzie (Virginia Gilmore), then enters the dangerous swamp. After he makes camp that night, he is struck unconscious, and held prisoner by Tom Keefer (Walter Brennan), a local man who escaped from prison. Ben helps Tom tend to a snake bite. Then the pair become partners. Ben agrees to give Tom's half of their trapping proceeds to his daughter, Julie (Anne Baxter), being reared by general store owner Marty McCord (Russell Simpson) and his wife (Mae Marsh). After two weeks, Ben returns to town, sells the furs then goes home, where he quarrels with Thursday.
Ben moves into a shack on McCord's land. He becomes better acquainted with Julie. Thursday's beloved second wife, Hannah (Mary Howard), is pestered by a cowardly former suitor, Jesse Wick (John Carradine). Hannah fears Jesse can get bullies Tim (Ward Bond) and Bud Dorson (Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams) to harm Thursday. Thursday grows cold to Hannah, who he believes is being unfaithful. Ben is upset Mabel refuses to go to a dance with him. Ben instead attends with Julie, whose unkempt appearance has been transformed by a new dress. Ben is attracted to Julie, and sees the Dorson brothers stealing McCord's pigs.
The next day, Ben accuses them of the theft, but when Mabel reveals her suspicions that Ben is trapping with Tom, the townsfolk believe that Tom is the thief and that Ben is protecting him. The Dorsons nearly drown Ben while questioning him, but Ben is rescued by Thursday. When Hannah tells Ben about her trouble with Thursday, Ben guesses that Jesse is her tormentor, confronts him, and forces him to confess to the sheriff that the Dorsons are the real killers of the deputy.
After telling Julie that he will return with her father, Ben goes to find Tom, but is followed by the Dorsons. At first, Tom believes that Ben is leading him into an ambush, but when the Dorsons try to shoot Ben, Tom leads them into quicksand, which claims Bud. Tom lets Tim go, and hesitates about returning with Ben, but Julie appears and takes him home. Hannah and Thursday reconcile, and Tom watches approvingly.
A 1941 American Black & White film-noir crime film directed by Jean Renoir, produced by Irving Pichel, screenplay by Dudley Nichols, based on Vereen Bell's 1941 novel of the same name, cinematography by J. Peverell Marley and Lucien Ballard, starring Walter Brennan, Walter Huston, Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Virginia Gilmore, John Carradine, Mary Howard, Eugene Pallette, Ward Bond, Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, Russell Simpson, Joe Sawyer, E. Burns, Dave Morris, and Frank Austin. Screen debut appearance of Matt Willis. Released by 20th Century Fox.
"Swamp Water" was published initially in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post in November and December 1940, and then in book form by Little, Brown in February 1941.
This was director Jean Renoir's first American film, made while he was in wartime exile from German-occupied France. Renoir and executive producer Darryl F. Zanuck infamously clashed during the making of this film. The crux of the disagreement stemmed from Renoir's desire to shoot on location and use moving camera shots and Zanuck's desire to shoot the film quickly and cheaply on a studio lot. Renoir ultimately emerged victorious in many of these disputes, but the working relationship between the men was permanently ruined. Renoir became so exasperated with Zanuck's interference that he offered his resignation. Zanuck declined Renoir's request. As filming progressed, Zanuck grew increasingly frustrated with Renoir's method of directing and his inability to stay on schedule. On August 18, 1941, production manager William Koenig, acting on behalf of Zanuck, notified Renoir that he was being removed from the project. The same night that Renoir had been terminated, Zanuck phoned him at home and asked him to return to complete the film. It is unclear what caused Zanuck's change of heart, but Renoir returned to his duties and finished the film. Darryl F. Zanuck heavily edited the film. Renoir felt Zanuck's edits distorted his vision for the film.
The film was shot both on location at Okefenokee Swamp, Waycross, Georgia, and at the 20th Century Fox Studio Lot. Dana Andrews is the only principle member of the cast to travel to the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia for location filming.
This was remade as "Lure of the Wilderness" (1952), directed by Jean Negulesco. Walter Brennan reprised his role of the escaped convict hiding in a swamp.
An altogether impressive production, with the overpowering atmosphere of the Okefenokee beautifully captured by Renoir and veteran cinematographer Peverell Marley. Anyway, it's a Renoir.
