Review of Duel in the Sun (1946) by Kim M — 14 Feb 2007
David O Selznick's attempted rival to Gone With The Wind falls so short it bounces into a comedic category of cultish proportions. A wide-eyed Jennifer Jones dominates the screen as Pearl, the lusty half breed that falls prey to bad boy Lewt, the darker of two borthers in the household that takes her in.
That is until one of the handful of all star players appears to steal the scene with an even more over the top performance. Memorable lines and a great climax make this an enjoyable film at every turn.
If you have an appreciation for a velvet elvis painting you'll love Duel in the Sun!
