Men of the Timberland is a 1941 American action film directed by Elmer Clifton and starring Richard Arlen, Andy Devine and Linda Hayes. It was part of their Aces of Action series at Universal Pictures.
Paul Jarrico worked on the script. He later said the film "dealt with the fight Richard Arlen, Andy Devine and some Dead-End-type kids in the Civilian Conservation Corps put up against the timber barons. Premature environmentalism." The script was rewritten but Jarrico kept story credit.[1] The Los Angeles Times said "Andy Devine is delightful."[2]
