The All-Time Best-Selling Love Story of the West... Now On the Screen In Spectacular Technicolor!

Western

Arriving at Medicine Bow, eastern schoolteacher Molly Woods meets two cowboys, irresponsible Steve and the "Virginian," who gets off on the wrong foot with her. To add to his troubles, the Virginian finds that his old pal Steve is mixed up with black-hatted Trampas and his rustlers...then finds himself at the head of a posse after said rustlers; and Molly hates the violent side of frontier life.

VIBE

A classic Western that feels like a dusty, sun-baked postcard from a bygone era. It's a tale of honor and romance set against the rugged beauty of the frontier, with a steady pace that lets the landscape and the moral quandaries breathe.
