- Synopsis
- Orphaned half-breed Pearl Chavez (Jennifer Jones) comes to Spanish Bit, a Ponderosa-like cattle ranch run by despotic McCandless (Lionel Barrymore). There she finds kindness in the heart of ex-Dixie Belle Lillian Gish. But her romantic presence splits the empire. Bookish son Jesse (Joseph Cotton) is disillusioned when his malevolent brother Lewton (Gregory Peck) openly seduces Pearl. Both sons are forced to leave the ranch, Pearl agonizes in sexual self-loathing ("Trash! Trash! Trash!") and the picture self-destructs in an orgy of blazing Technicolor sunsets, bombastic music, and vengeful shootouts.
