Duel in the Sun (1946)
Directed by King Vidor
this film based on the novel of the same name stars Jennifer Jones,
Joseph cotton and Gregory Peck. An attractive half-native American
girl moves to live on a Texas ranch and comes between two brothers.
At the time this film
was released it was hugely controversial due to the sexual content
which is beyond tame by modern standards. The plot covers racism,
forbidden love and temptation pretty well highlighting the problems
with older attitudes. As one of the early films to be made in colour
the film is not without it's problems, occasionally the image quality
is not the best but is fine most of the time.
4/5
