Pursued (1947)


 

A boy haunted by nightmares about the night his entire family was murdered is brought up by a neighboring family in the 1880s. He falls for his lovely adoptive sister but his nasty adoptive brother and mysterious uncle want him dead. 

Dark noir Western reaps ups the passions in a mysterious, violent family feud with a doomed Robert Mitchum caught in its midst; compelling with beautiful black-and-white cinematography.

Halliwell*: "Glum, good-looking revenge Western."

Maltin***: "Grim, passionate Western noir, a family saga of love, hate, revenge, and a hint of incest...Stunning photography..."
