Review of Duel in the Sun (1946) by Art S — 05 Nov 2011
The problem with Duel in the Sun is that it is boring. Now, is this the fault of David O. Selznick who wrote the script, controlled the production, and put his over-acting girlfriend in the starring role as a half-breed who is the love object for two sons (one bad, one good).
Yes, probably. Gregory Peck shines but Joseph Cotten and Lillian Gish seem helpless and Lionel Barrymore is frankly embarrassing with all that scenery-chewing. Too bad it isn't so bad it's good.
