Robert Taylor is Brassfield, land-owner in Wyoming, who is determined to hold onto his land rights. with Joan Caulfield as Sharleen, the love interest. the arch enemy is Clay Mathews (Robert Middleton), a Texas big shot, who thinks his cattle should be allowed to graze anywhere, on any land, at any time. keep an eye out for John Mitchum, brother of Robert Mitchum. Mathews and Brassfield both get their say to the President. and there's the show-down coming, at some point. directed by early film director Tay Garnett. his biggest films were probably Postman Rings Twice and Mrs. Parkington. filmed in lovely MetroScope, for MGM Metro. Taylor was married to Barbara Stanwyck for twelve years! who knew? this one is a slow mover, but gets there eventually.
