Bending of the River Describes this Edge **1/2

Warning: Spoilers
Routine fanfare with Debra Paget marrying Anthony Quinn after her parole from prison. Dissatisified with her life on the ranch, she soon becomes "liberated" when ex-boyfriend and murderer Ray Milland shows up.

The two run off and when Quinn tries to reclaim his bride, he is brought into Milland's plot of fleeing to Mexico. The gun keeps going back between Milland and Quinn. Paget comes to realize how dangerous Milland really is.

Coming off of playing Lilia, the flower girl, in 1956's blockbuster "The Ten Commandments," Paget gets to show her sexy and most vulnerable side.

The cinematography is beautiful, but the film itself is rather a blend of good versus evil, and evil losing at the end-even when it tries to do something good. Redemption gone wrong.
