Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned, 8 December 2005
9/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Anne Baxter really delivers as a dance hall queen who gives everything up to pursue boyfriend Clint Saunders to a booming Colorado town.

On the way, she not only raises Clint's kid brother, she rears Ceilie, beautifully played by Natalie Wood. How is her kindness rewarded? She loses both children and ultimately Clint to the senator's daughter, who is viciously played by Julie Adams, the former Mrs. Ray Danton. Adams steals the picture as a conniving woman who will stop at nothing to get and keep Saunders.

The exciting ending with the underlying message of evil to him (her) who does evil is wonderful. A **** film in every sense of the word.
