Great Day in the Morning (1956)

Directed by Jacques Tourneur
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Robert Stack rides into Denver with Virginia Mayo. He quickly wins a saloon from Raymond Burr in a poker game. He uses the money and stature to bully people in town and buy a share of gold intended for the South in the Civil War. Two women love him, and he struggles with his feelings of guilt with a young boy whose father he killed. Fine location photography in Colorado and good period atmosphere help this melodrama.
