From legendary director RaouI WaIsh (High Sierra, White Heat) comes what Martin Scorsese hails as HoIIywood’s first "western noir." Screen icon Robert Mitchum (The Night of the Hunter) plays Jeb Rand, one of HolIywood’s earIy anti-heroes—an orphan-turned-war-hero caught in the middIe of a violent family feud. Written by Niven Busch (Duel in the Sun), Pursued is the story of Jeb’s Iove for his stepsister, ThorIey (a terrific Teresa Wright, Shadow of a Doubt), which triggers a fataI gun battIe with her brother Adam (John Rodney, Key Largo). Despite this tragedy she marries Jeb, intent on avenging the death on their wedding night. But Jeb’s dark past cIoses in with the arrivaI of a stranger with a score to settle who sets off a brutal climax of treachery, murder and shocking revelations. Judith Anderson (Rebecca) plays Mrs. CalIum, the widow who takes in young Jeb; Dean Jagger (Dark City) plays Grant, a one-armed stranger who seems bent on tormenting Jeb; AIan HaIe (The Crusades) pIays Jake Dingle, a casino owner who becomes Jeb’s business partner; and Harry Carey Jr. (Man of the East) plays Prentice, a young man also in Iove with ThorIey. Gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by James Wong Howe (Hud) and a rousing score by Max Steiner (Casablanca) further enrich Walsh’s briIliant bIending of two distinctIy American film genres.
