Storyline

The Goss family live on a farm they call the dust bowl where the wind blows during the day and the coyotes howl at night. When the train is robbed, everyone thinks that Cotton and Violet were the ones that did the job, but no one has any proof. US Marshal Lloyd Richland comes into town in disguise to find the truth and he finds that the sheriff is corrupt and that the Goss family is gosh darn nice. They take in Richland and a stranded woman named Mary without any questions. Cotton believes that Sheriff Tatum shot their pa in the back, and the sheriff is now trying to plug the boys. Richland is looking for the train robbers, and at the same time is keeping an eye on Tatum and the lovely young Mary.—Tony Fontana



Short Review

Gentle Annie is a decent film. It is about a an undercover US Marshal who is sent to Oklahoma Territory to investigate a string of train robberies and arrest the culprits in 1901. James Craig and Donna Reed give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Andrew Marton did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance.
