    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Legendary producer David O. Selznick dreamed of another magnum opus like his 1939 production of Gone with the Wind; he also purposed to make Jennifer Jones, his ladylove and eventually second Mrs. Selznick, a megastar. Accordingly, he micromanaged the making of Duel in the Sun (Lust in the Dust to some), an extravagant Technicolor epic about the collision of the old West with the new, wide-open spaces with railroads and barbed wire, and hot-blooded outlaws with civilized folk, often wimpy or unwell. Beginning among giant rocks drenched in a blood-red sunset, with velvet-voiced Orson Welles intoning the leibestod legend of doomed Pearl Chavez and her demon lover, Duel never strays far from lush romanticism, spiced with a dash of S/M. Orphaned Pearl (Jones) comes to live at Spanish Bit Ranch, where frail Laura Belle McCanles (Lillian Gish) tries to make a lady of her, despite her questionable origins and insistent voluptuousness. Sexual license versus law--Pearl's choices--are symbolized by the McCanles brothers: dark, undisciplined Lewt (a lubriciously wicked Gregory Peck) and reasonable, forward-looking, repressed Jesse (Joseph Cotten). The cast is huge (Lionel Barrymore, Walter Huston, Harry Carey, Herbert Marshall, Charles Bickford, Butterfly McQueen) and there are unforgettable set pieces: summoned by a cacophony of bells, the gathering of McCanles cowboys from the four corners of the earth; Pearl in heat, clutching Lewt's leg and being dragged across the floor as he makes his getaway to Mexico; and the lovers' final shootout among those red rocks, as orgiastic a finale as you could ask for. --Kathleen Murphy

    5 out of 5 stars Great Melodrama   December 16, 2009
    R. de Aquino (Brazil)
    I have seen DUEL IN THE SUN many times. When I teach melodrama to my drama students, this is one of the best examples I can find to show them the full characteristics of the genre in all their colorful splendor. And no matter how often I see DUEL IN THE SUN, the film always hits a deep emotional chord in the most intimate regions of my being. It is high camp, true, but I also find it truly artistic in every respect. The production values are superb. The actors are magnificent and some of them (Jones, Gish, Peck, McQueen) offer us scenes of such mesmerizing beauty that we remain truly spellbound by their unique power to communicate such a vast array of emotions. Clearly, they do not make films such as this any more.


    4 out of 5 stars OMG! Somebody catch me while I faint!...(ahhhhhhhhhhh)   August 13, 2009
    a reader
    Over the top???!!! HARDLY!!!
    I say it's just right. Suds, steam, lots of foamy froth. Right out in the ol' West,
    and smack down in the middle of a hacienda called Spanish Bit (somebody hose me down, PLEASE).
    Some might say it's too much...Pearl swimming at the sump'....smacking Lewt full-face with a
    handful of dessert.........driving the sin-eater to make her kneel A WHOLE LOTTA TIMES for
    prayin' and perspirin'.....
    Oh dear, what's a movie lover to do???? Dump me in the sump' girls, it's popcorn time!!!

    Q: What would happen if "Gone with the Wind" overdosed on Spanish Fly and wandered into the desert?

    A: This movie, which is a Technicolor fever dream from David O. Selznick's speed-addled memo pad. Jennifer Jones comes between a wise but dull saint (Joseph Cotton) and his cruel but more exciting brother (Gregory Peck, eons from Atticus Finch). Jones is frequently shown scrubbing floors on all fours, boasting of her bareback prowess or literally writhing with sexual frustration. Her mind-boggling changes of, um, heart make this much more fun than it might've been, as does Lionel Barrymore's snickering, racist patriarch.

    This is a great love movie,expect for the control of Luke over this girl. It reminds me of some of these abusers around that think they own a woman,once they have a relationship. Other than that it is a great movie.great love scenes, even though their love is toxic.

    If you're a fan of Jennifer Jones or Gregory Peck you'll want to check out this movie. It's rare for Gregory Peck to play a "bad guy" but he's good at it! If you like him as the bad guy, you'll want to buy "Yellow Sky" as well. Good chemistry between the stars. It was one of my Mother's favorites!
