Poster Art From art.comBelle Starr   1941     2 stars    N/R, 87 min.
Genre: Western
Director: Irving Cummings  
Cast: Randolph Scott, Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Shepperd Strudwick, Elizabeth Patterson, Chill Wills, Louise Beavers, Olin Howland, Paul E. Burns, Joe Sawyer

  The real Belle Starr was not a nice person, but her story is romanticized in this film with Gene Tierney as the outlaw. Belle, who lost all her land during the Civil War, marries guerilla leader Sam Starr (Randolph Scott) and they continue to take on the Yankees after the war. Tierney is wonderful to look at but certainly is miscast in this one.

In the midst of his frenzy to spend the money, personal problems arise when he must postpone his wedding to Peggy (Helen Walker) but cannot tell her why.
