Alan Ladd - The Iron Mistress (USA 1952)

The Iron Mistress (USA 1952)
Directed by Gordon Douglas
Soundtrack by Max Steiner
Alan Ladd as Jim Bowie

In 1825, Jim Bowie travels to New Orleans to sell the output from the sawmill he runs with his brothers. He soon meets the beautiful Judalon de Bornay who seems to have most men wrapped around her little finger. She clearly likes him but when he tells her he's leaving, she manipulates one of her beaus into challenging him for a duel. Bowie survives the confrontation but devises a plan to sell the not only his lumber but also the family mill and invest it in land. Within a couple of years, the Bowie brothers are quite rich and Jim meets Judalon again - only this time she is married. It doesn't stop her from manipulating those around her. Jim's business interests lead to a bloody duel where several people are killed and a confrontation with local saloon owner and crook Black Jack Sturdevant. After Sturdevant tries to kill him on the trail, Bowie is rescued by a beautiful Mexican woman and decides to make his home in Texas.

Alan Ladd, a great actor who is missed. RIP Alan, you had a long and wonderful career.

Heavens to Santa Ana! Quite an exciting scene! I've never had the chance to watch all of this movie...though I assume TCM shows it every now & then since it's a Warner Bros flick from the 50's & TCM owns the Warner Bros film library. THANKS for posting! The late great Alan Ladd was always one of my fave stars!

that doesn't look like a sandbar

The best scene from a good but uneven film, especially the ending which was disappointing and inaccurate. I suggest it be remade with Russell Crowe as the star (who had been offered the role of Bowie in THE ALAMO.) I think it would be as popular as his 3:10 TO YUMA
