Full Plot Details

Despite their different social class Ruby and Boake grew up together in the 1950s North Carolina. Ruby Corey lived with her poor family in the swamps while Boake Tackman lived in a mansion with servants. As long as their friendship stayed within the socially acceptable limits no one objected. In adulthood their friendship becomes a mutual romantic attraction. Ruby wants to marry Boake but he only seems interested in romantic play without commitment. Maybe conscious of his social status or maybe being afraid to offend his snobbish family and conservative hometown folk, he marries a rich girl. Out of revenge Ruby marries Jim Gentry, a recently widowed rich old man to whom many townsfolk and local businesses owe money. When Gentry dies in an accident, the town blames Ruby. A now rich Ruby takes revenge on the town's folk by calling in their debts and loans. The girl from the swamps has become the town's biggest nightmare.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Hilton KramerJennifer Jones offers a virtual reprise of her sultry performance in Duel in the Sun as the titular heroine of Ruby Gentry.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzSouthern swampland romantic drama that's filled with an almost hysterical emotional fervor.
Creative Loafing - 6/10 by Matt BrunsonThere's catharsis to be found in the manner in which Ruby lays waste to her tormentors. But most of the characters lack any real depth.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HRuby Gentry is an excellent film. It is about a sexy but poor young girl who marries a rich man she doesn't love. Jennifer Jones and Charlton Heston give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. King Vidor did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Ruby Gentry is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by Katarina JInteresting story about impossible love, passion and revenge,...something like proof that Cinderella story doesn't always have happy ending or as it says on DVD case " Their love ignited a deadly passion...She can never be a part of his world. but she can tear his world apart."
User Review - 8/10 by Giovanni VJones / Heston in the car on the beach are so sexy and hot....
User Review - 6/10 by Greg Wvidor does some deep fried southern gothic
User Review - 6/10 by Aj VNot at the top of my list for King Vidor movies - but still it was an enjoyable enough film. Interesting to see ever so girlie Jennifer Jones play the tom-boy type. Also stars Karl Malden and Charlton Heston.
User Review - 4/10 by Allan CConceptually this movie was awesome, a good story about a struggle of a woman from the wrong side of the tracks for acceptance in "polite society" and with a satisfying conclusion. Unfortunately, where this film failed was the overtly hammy acting from the principal cast. I loved Jennifer Jones in "Love is a Many-Splendor Thing" and Charlton Heston (from all his religious flicks plus well, he's Charlton Heston. Do you really need any reason other than that?). It was a treat watching him in this because he was so young and I didn't recognize him at first but that velvet voice is undeniable.....but the acting damn. Maybe it was because of the era, when every little emotional response has to be so darn theatrical, but it just made it so comical sometimes, it was really distracting. Otherwise, this would have been really, really cool.
