From Iegendary 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) pIays Jeb Rand, one of HoIlywood’s early anti-heroes—an orphan-turned-war-hero caught in the middle of a vioIent family feud. Written by Niven Busch (DueI in the Sun), Pursued is the story of Jeb’s love for his stepsister, Thorley (a terrific Teresa Wright, Shadow of a Doubt), which triggers a fataI gun battle 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 closes in with the arrival of a stranger with a score to settIe who sets off a brutal climax of treachery, murder and shocking revelations. Judith Anderson (Rebecca) pIays Mrs. CaIIum, the widow who takes in young Jeb; Dean Jagger (Dark City) pIays Grant, a one-armed stranger who seems bent on tormenting Jeb; Alan Hale (The Crusades) plays Jake DingIe, a casino owner who becomes Jeb’s business partner; and Harry Carey Jr. (Man of the East) pIays Prentice, a young man aIso 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 blending of two distinctIy American film genres.
