Roseanna McCoy (1949)

In the late 1800s, the longtime feud between the Kentucky McCoy family and the West Virginia Hatfields has lain dormant -- until Johnse Hatfield meets charming young Rosemary McCoy and falls in love. 

From memory: Dramatic, but average Western melodrama with a Romeo and Juliet kind of plot. 

Halliwell (no star): "Hillbilly Romeo and Juliet saga, a shade too cornfed despite the credits."

Maltin**: "Witless drama..."
