Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Irving Cummings
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

Southern spitfire Gene Tierney joins up with Rebels lead by Randolph Scott in Reconstruction-era Missouri. It's sort of like Gone With the Wind in a western setting. There is even a "Mammy" character, here played by Louise Beavers. Unfortunately the film turns melodramatic as Tierney and Scott fall in love, only to be separated by rogues within the ranks of the Rebels. A predictable tragic ending follows. Still, the 21-year-old Tierney is radiant in Technicolor.
