Review of The Proud Rebel (1958) by Janet C — 14 May 2015
Solid little wester that features and older Alan Ladd and Olivia de Havilland. I'm a big fan of both stars, so that helped my liking of this rather formula western quite a lot. Ladd is a ex-Confederate soldier in a post-Civil War old west, traveling with his mute son and in search of medical help for his son.
Ladd is taken in by de Havilland who tames the hot headed Ladd, who also helps her fight off ranchers who want her land. Ladd is good but for me de Havilland steals the film. She exudes warmth and caring in a well developed character.
Directed by Michael Curtiz, this one is a solid western for fans of the genre or the stars.
