Thunder Mountain (1947)

Directed by Lew Landers
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Lions Gate)

Better-than-average programmer with Tim Holt returning to his home town to start farming, but having to deal with an old feud instead. Martha Hyer is a member of the opposing family in the feud, but they find a way to fall in love anyway. At one point in their courting, he takes her down to the ground and firmly spanks her, I mean really spanks her good! That was unexpected to say the least. Well, eventually the Hatfield and McCoys (or whatever their names were) have to make friends to fight the real enemy, the corrupt sheriff who is at the beck and call of the local gambling joint owners. Some fancy two-handed shootin' by Holt in the exciting climax. Lone Pine locations are also good.
