Duel in the Sun (1946)
Country: US
Technical: col 129m
Director: King Vidor
Cast: Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten, Lionel Barrymore
Synopsis:
A half-breed girl is taken in by her hanged father's first wife and moves to Texas, where her happy landings are ambivalent to say the least. Sure enough, her mother's promiscuous blood courses through her veins also, and she conceives a love-hate relationship for the younger brother of the ranch owner, Lewt!
Review:
The slenderest of premises is given Gone with the Wind treatment by the film's smitten, micro-managing producer, Selznick, who got through three directors on this too. Although Miss Jones undeniably looks good, the result is rather like a De Luxe version of The Outlaw, getting itself dubbed 'Lust in the Dust'.
