Belle Starr Summary
Director: Irving Cummings
Genres: Adventure, Drama
Rating:
20th Century-Fox mixed together elements of its own Jesse_James and Selznick's Gone with the Wind, and the resultant brew was Belle_Starr. Looking precisely nothing like the real Belle, Gene_Tierney plays the title role, whom the screenplay suggests was the daughter of a Southern aristocrat. When those Damn Yankees march in and appropriate Belle's land, she heads to Missouri and joins forces with a Confederate guerilla fighter (Randolph_Scott). Belle marries the man, and together they become outlaws, hoping to avenge the fallen South. For reasons best known to the studio, Belle_Starr is overloaded with offensive African American stereotypes, including the faithful old ex-slave (George_Reed) who narrates the story. Hal Erickson, Rovi
