The Virginian (1946)
7/10
Miss Molly
10 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Qualities : gorgeous early technicolor, some beautiful landscapes, comedy in the first part, surprising scenes (Joel Mc Crea watching his best friend not afraid of being hung after a pussy), confrontation of Molly with an old woman who explains why to lynch, these two women continuing their conversation with how many Indians were killed by their family (very weird), Brian Donlevy dressed in black, and beautiful Barbara Britton.

Negative : Joel Mc Crea not at his best (except in the lynch scene), not enough tension between Mc Crea and Donlevy, some outside scenes shot in studio (awful).

Very strange blend of family western and tough scenes, this fourth version should have deserved a better director than Stuart Gilmore who directed very few movies.
