(Encore)

The Denbow's are a Texas ranching family who own hundreds of thousands of acres. They won't give up an inch to homesteaders. The younger Denbow is a womanizer who flaunts his wealth in town. One day he is framed for murder in a shootout. He must marry local gal Shelley Winters to keep her from testifying at the trial. She uncovers the truth but continues to live at their sprawling ranch. Eventually she falls in love with cousin Joseph Cotten. Perhaps a bit too much romantic melodrama, but overall another solid color production from the always reliable Universal-International.
