Storyline

In a fictionalized biography, Oklahoma outlaw Belle Starr meets the Dalton gang when rescued from lynching by Bob Dalton, who falls for her. So do gang member Mac and wealthy saloon owner Tom Bradfield, who's enlisted in a bankers' scheme to trap the Daltons. Dissension among the gang and Bradfield's ambivalence complicate the plot, as Belle demonstrates her prowess with shootin' irons, horses, and as a surprisingly racy saloon entertainer.—Rod Crawford



Short Review

The movie is a real gem; it's really a miracle that such a rare, forgotten western is available to be watched. This is just another great RKO technicol....wait no Trucolor western movie starring Jane Russell! Trucolor was a low-budget movie solution to filming in color. Don't think that the film is unrestored, what you see is just the extreme low quality of Trucolor. Jane Russell is excellent in this movie once again as the cold hearted, independent, and tough woman of the west.
