Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for western fans and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. A good follow-up to True Grit or Hud.

Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 23 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1933: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In the 1860s, Mary Marlowe defies her father's wishes to marry a British lord and runs away with clerk John Carlton as he heads West to make his fortune. Mary and John endure the difficult journey and settle into a small cabin, then face the hostilities of a cattle rustling gang, as well as the tragic loss of their only son. With Mary's help, John defeats the gang, which propels him to political power that, over the years, gradually erodes the once-happy marriage.
