Frenchie (aka Revolver Lady) (1950)

A woman (Shelley Winters) from New Orleans returns to the western town where her father was murdered. She's seeking revenge for her father's death. Although she knows one of the killers (Paul Kelly), she wants to know who his secret partner is. A very loose remake of the 1939 film DESTRY RIDES AGAIN and directed by Louis King. The emphasis this time is not on the "Destry" character (here played by Joel McCrea) but on the woman and her backstory. As a western, it's quite entertaining and handsomely shot in Technicolor by Maury Gertsman (TO HELL AND BACK). The most pleasant surprise is Shelley Winters in the title role! The shrillness and neuroticism which mars some of her later work is absent here and she's sexy and appealing. With Elsa Lanchester, Marie Windsor (who participates in DESTRY'S famous catfight with Winters),  John Emery and John Russell.
