Great Wayne performance!


It's too bad these great old films are all but ignored these days--especially the black and white movies. I know very few people who have even heard of this film, let alone seen it, and they are missing one of John Wayne's best performances. The film is not without flaws, but has so many things going for it--a great romance, a great study of a symbiotic relationship (between Wayne and Luther Adler as rivals who hate, but respect one another), the beautiful Gail Russell in one of her few films, and that mesmerizing performance by Wayne. Hey, read my review at: <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040946/usercomments-7>; and then vote on whether you found it helpful or not. Cheerio!

I completely agree. Capt Ralls has long been one of my favorites.
