Republic Pictures produced and distributed this drama/love story starring Adele Mara who first appeared in Blondie Goes to College (1942) and last worked in the TV mini-series "Wheels" (1978). Amazingly, the script sounds like it was written about Hurricane Katrina however this time steelworkers rush to complete a bridge as a storm causes floods which destroy levees and imperil residents in a valley.

Backstory revolves around triangle romance between Adele and the two male leads who play the supervisor and foremen for bridge construction company. Who will she choose? This is the old clicking clock plot but it is interesting. The locations and sets are good and obstacles are realistic. Adele is quite a dish especially in her then stylish clothes which are amusing as allegedly she is just an unemployed waitress. But, who cares as she is a treat for tired eyes.

Good, simple entertainment.

Bill Kennedy is the superintendent and Damian O'Flynn the foreman on a gigantic steel bridge to an isolated valley. They fight over everything, especially Adele Mara, who's around to give haircuts and other things that only women can do. It's dangerous high steel work, and then an accident puts them behind schedule, with a major flood a-coming, which will drown everyone in the valley, unless they can complete the bridge.

I would have tried to put up a temporary structure, or perhaps boated them out before the flood hit, but apparently I'm missing something, like Miss Mara when the guys try to explain the details of bridge-building to her. There are some exciting sequences, but it's largely a by-the-numbers B movie of how men bond over major projects and celebrate by sharing a cigarette. With Richard Loo, Victor Sen Yung, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Chester Clute.
