The sexy Alice Faye was one of the few American actresses to survive the transition to talkies. In 1933, she was caught up in a scandal that erupted over the exposure of a ménage à trois between her, her boyfriend actor Jack Warburton, and her future husband Sy Bartlett. Ya know, people talk.

The Big Country (1958). A New Englander arrives in the Old West, where he becomes embroiled in a feud between two families over a valuable patch of land.

Westerns aren’t really my thing, but this is certainly one of the more compelling ones. The cast does a terrific job of portraying two families on the brink, and the narrative builds the tension effectively. If you enjoy a western, this is one to watch. 7.5/10.
