Great Cast enhances a weak script!
10 May 2007
First of all, you can't ask for a better cast of actors and actresses including Joseph Cotten, Gregory Peck, Lillian Gish, Jennifer Jones and others. The film is typically a mix of Western drama with rifles, horses, ranches, and drama including the beautiful Jennifer Jones caught in a love triangle with Gregory Peck. Anyway, the cast makes up for a weak script. Gish's dying scene is almost laughable. Peck and Jones are believable as a couple. Of course, Jones' character Pearl Chavez is an interesting character and a first in mainstream cinema. This film was supposed to be the equivalent of Gone with the Wind but it doesn't go that far to be that memorable. It's still a beautiful film but the script is weak but your cast is strong and brilliant to overcome such odd.
