Overlooked western of twilight phase of the classy Raoul Walsh on western together Clark Gable, having in strong character of Jo Van Fleet which the picture whether its supports, got strength and firmness, also the picture has a fierce sexual appeal focused on four woman and just one male character.
Always pursued by someone Dan Kehoe arrives in a dusty town to get some hints to reach at Wagon Mound ranch, the bartender (Jay C. Flippen) explains that place is forbidden for anybody else, since the tragic happening that took place there two years ago, about a stolen gold by the four sons of Ma McDade (Jo Van Fleet), a posse surround the warehouse where they hide, sadly a fire explode a powder stored there, also according the old bartender just one of the McDade survives however its hideout is unknown, thus the old lady demands all four daughters-in-laws waiting for his sole husband still at large returns.
Reaching there Dan Kehoe is welcomed by bullets, wounded he is taking to the house for care, soon he knows all them, the cunning Sabina (Eleanor Parker), the demure Oralie (Sarah Shane) the sassy Birdie (Barbara Nichols), the flaming Ruby (Jean Willys) and the uptight Ma McDade who led them with heavy hand, in hope of one survived son come back, meanwhile Kehoe drives around with all them, always trying getting a clue where the gold is, also the sexual tension is blatant, after all two years of hiatus is too much for a married woman.
A movie previously aimed to Clark Gable, that felt on Jon Van Fleet's lap due her outstanding performance by such old lady, so empowered, actually he was one most righteous actress I'd seem at cinema industry until now, for all this and those ladies and Gable as well worthwhile a look on this unknown picture (due the poorest votes at IMDB), mainly by the newest restoration bringing the bright colors!
Thanks for reading.
