Jeff S It's a different kind of role for Ava Gardner than Night of the Iguana, an all-time classic, but her fans will surely enjoy this performance and those of her talented co-stars. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Steve D Arguably Gables worst but still Gable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Deke P 1952 ! Awesome, cuz historical drama about the statehood of the Republic of Texas. Good thing Texas became a state, rather than an independent counry, competing with, & disuniting what is now the USA. Another great argument for Manifest Destiny. Great CAST: Gable, Ava Gardner, Broderick Crawford. Lionel BARRYMORE as President JACKSON. SAM HOUSTON portrayed as very heroic statesman FOR statehood. CRAWFORD as wanting TEXAS as independent nation/ empire. Supported by FRANCE & ENGLAND, to keep Texas from joining Union with USA. Lotta romance twix Gable & Ava ("a whole lotta woman"). Giving it max 5 stars on RT, cuz of the subject matter, and cast. Finally saw 70 years later, on tv Aug 3, 2022. & watching a good bit of it again Jan 20, 2023. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Nobody paid any attention to the real history. This movie struggles to retain its B-grade movie status by involving histrionics of all kinds. The script itself is a mess and its a wonder anyone signed on to do this. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Clark Gable leads a cast including Ava Gardner and Broderick Crawford, in this political-western. Texas is a free state, the United States sends Clark Gables character out to Houston to welcome Texas in the union, while they fear annexation- Gable and Crawfords character fall into a romantic relationship. Very talkative western that may go down better for fans of Clark Gable. I can only see one scene with Gable and that's Gone With the Wind. A couple gun shots and horse chases and good one liners "I'm a man with a gun, and I'm calling you a liar!" For any action-type westerners you may want to look for something with less jibba-jabba and more Leone. A generic Western, squeaky clean with it's violence, if any and always ends in love and happily-ever-after. "Geronimo, my saddle-bags." Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Talky western about a group of Texans debating feuding over whether they want to become a state or remain independent. Clark Gable leads the good guy who are fighting budgie Broderick Crawford. There are a few rousing action sequences, but it's not quite enough to make this much of a memorable western. The film also features Ava Gardner, Lionel Barrymore and Ed Begley. But full disclosure, I'm not a Gable fan, so maybe fans of his would like this film better.
