Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe leisurely told cornball tale of frontier love makes for a pleasant and unassuming film.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex SLove this movie. Good wholesome movie for the whole family! Gary Gray was so cute!
User Review - 8/10 by Colette MIt's fun fluff--funny in a throw-away sort of way. It's got a really appealing cast; even William Holden, who's supposed to be kind of a tosser, is pretty likeable and inoffensive. You feel for Loretta Young's character (who's supposed to be--but never really feels--shy and odd) and Robert Mitchum has the bad boy/comedic role. It's just a likeable film, overall--everyone's likeable, the story's likeable. No more or less than that.
User Review - 8/10 by John RWilliam Holden is a widower in the old west with a young son. He then hires a young woman, Loretta Young, as a something of a wife/indentured servant hybrid. Robert Mitchum plays Holden's wandering minstrel friend, who visits from time to time, and a love triangle developes between the three. It's a fairly simple pioneer love story, but all three stars are terrific. I've never been much a Loretta Young fan, but she was quite good in this film, so I'm going to have to give her another chance next time TCM shows one of her films.
User Review - 6/10 by Debbie PWives don't grow on trees. David and his son live on a small farm in Ohio on their own after the loss of David's wife. David decides to marry an indentured servant he purchases so his son can have a proper upbringing with schooling, home cooked meals, and a woman presence. He doesn't initially treat her as a wife, but when a rival visits the farm and meets with his wife, David gets his act together and begins acting like they're married...but it may be too late. "Liquor makes you thirsty." Norman Foster, director of Davey Crocket and the River Pirates, Mr. Moto's Last Warning, The Great Sex War, Davey Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier, and Indian paint, delivers Rachel and the Stranger. The storyline for this picture is above average and the characters play off each other very well. The cast delivers awesome performances and includes Loretta Young, William Holden, Robert Mitchum, and Gary Gray. "Two grown men fighting like a couple of wild Indians." I came across this all star cast in a western on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and had to DVR it. This was very entertaining and I loved all three main stars. They played off each other well and the script was pretty well written. I recommend seeing this once. "I hope you're loaded. I hope you know what you're doing." Grade: C+
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DThe heavyweight cast bring a fairly ordinary frontier story to life. Mitchum and Holden were never going to win any performance awards for this one, but they have presence and their fist-fight is great to see.
User Review - 4/10 by Red LA predictable movie. A widower needs a women to help run his farm, so "buys" one (by paying off her debt) and treats her like dirt. Of course she is everything the widower ever wanted, and they all live happily everafter.
