William Holden is a widower who buys a new wife, Loretta Young - his son Gary Gray (also in the Lassie film The Painted Hills) takes an immediate dislike for her. And so it goes, he treating her like a servant... until friend Bob Mitchum turns up and starts to treat her like the lady she is, and before long they're erotically singing duets over her spinet. The boys start to squabble, and she becomes a crack shot, which is useful when the Shawnee attack the block with cries of "Get art of my pub!!" You can guess the end.
Quite fun. An RKO picture, scored by Roy Webb, photographed by Maury Gertsman. Written by Waldo Salt from the story by Howard Fast. Filmed in Oregon.
