“Eat your pie.”
Fun but overlong western with a dynamite turn by Jean Arthur as a feisty pioneer gal that’s as rough and tumble as any man you’ll meet. She fights corruption and villainy in the form of Porter Hall and Warren William. She also finds time for romance with handsome (and considerably younger) leading man William Holden.

Arthur’s the primary reason to see this. She dominates every scene. Also some good performances from Edgar Buchanan as a drunken judge and Warren William as a slimy crook. Holden’s fine but he wasn’t quite ready to be an A-lister yet. The romance element is one of the weaker parts of the film. Victor Young’s Oscar-nominated score is excellent. It’s an enjoyable western but, like I said, it goes on too long for such a simple story.

Not all epics have to be in color.
This could have easily been called “Tucson”, the city whose building it documents. Director Wesley Ruggles went from light comedies to westerns, and what a big subject he picked. It’s one of Jean Arthur’s best roles, playing a rough and tough woman named Phoebe Titus who runs cattle and makes pies, or at least has people who work for her making pies. She’s the only white woman working at this growing settlement, populated with both friendly natives and white men, not equal, but at least for the most part not fighting. When first seen, she storms into a make-shift saloon and orders the two men who robbed her house to give each other 20 lashes. With some trepidation, they obey, and thanks to the loan of newcomer William Holden’s hat, she gets her money back.

But that’s the least of her worries. The ruthless Porter Hall, in a rare role as a villain, frames her for selling weapons to the confederacy and with rifle in hand, she nearly gets a confession out of him. Once again it’s Holden to the rescue, but Hall isn’t finished with her. He joins forces with the even more ruthless Warren William who isn’t above putting a bullet in his partner’s back, and watching him do this with glee is shocking, him pulling the trigger as easily as cleaning the dirt out of his nails.

There’s also Edgar Buchannan as a rather shady politician whom Arthur manages to keep somewhat on the straight and narrow, never afraid to stand up to him when he goes to far. But it’s the romance of Arthur and Holden that turns her into a lady, at least when she needs to be a lady, and theirs will be a marriage built on equality…or else. Going from Stanwyck’s “Golden Boy” to Arthur’s good ole’ boy, Holden is showing the promising actor yet to come, not yet at the quality of Joe Gillis in “Sunset Blvd.” or the heroes of “Stalag 17” and “The Bridge on the River Kwai”, but quite good. Excellent photography, location footage (right outside of Tucson), editing and music makes this a spectacular historical piece of fiction, a great western in a year when there were many great westerns.
