Pretty Good

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Routine fanfare with Debra Paget marrying Anthony Quinn after her parole from prison. Dissatisified with her life on the ranch, she soon becomes "liberated" when ex-boyfriend and murderer Ray Milland shows up. The two run off and when Quinn tries to reclaim his bride, he is brought into Milland's plot of fleeing to Mexico. The gun keeps going back between Milland and Quinn. Paget comes to realize how dangerous Milland really is.Coming off of playing Lilia, the flower girl, in 1956's blockbuster "The Ten Commandments," Paget gets to show her sexy and most vulnerable side.The cinematography is beautiful, but the film itself is rather a blend of good versus evil, and evil losing at the end-even when it tries to do something good. Redemption gone wrong.

This is perhaps the best films made about a farmer marrying a woman, who knew about if not took part in stolen money, and a plot to escape the country. If this is about a marriage gone wild, this will work.Movie Plot Summary, an unsuspecting farmer marries a woman with a dark past that catches up with them, and the guy who stole the money wants the woman back, husband to get them out, and make husband watch his wife with him! It's practically a love triangle movie. Good girl fell for bad guy, and tries to clean herself with a good guy. Never work! Through the whole movie, the farmer watches painfully as his wife is in the arms of the other man, making out in the trailer. If anything, if marriage is put in doubt then there's your answer. :)

A first class B movie from the redoubtable Allan Dwan who, over the years, became something of an expert in making silk purses out of sow's ears. Not that this resembles anything like a sow's ear. It's got a decent script and good performances from Ray Milland as the cold-hearted killer trying to get across the border into Mexico with a suitcase full of money and Anthony Quinn as the farmer who is taking him there. What gives the film its kick is that none of it's three protagonists, (the third, Debra Paget, is the farmer's wife who happens to be the killer's former partner), is particularly noble, (indeed all display varying degrees of rottenness), and all are psychologically very well drawn. It's also very handsomely shot in wide-screen and combines studio and location work to good effect.

This movie shows the good and bad side of people. When the main character obtains his rich fortune from steeling a million dollars, he seeks his former lover to share his life. This movie shows what love and wealth can do to people when times are tough. It seemed, as the main character had to kill two people, it was not done in hate but to reach his goals, as a person would do to protect his belongings. I saw a good side in the main characters side and having a tragic end when he tries to do something good. The lady in the movie seemed to shift loves too easily and not something I see as a good quality. The Rancher showed his love to his wife during these turbulent experiences and ended up bonding with his wife over these trials.
