A New Romance or Not? Old Ways or New?
Added 9/14/2008
Gunslinger Quirt Evans always had a rough life. His parents were killed by Indians, and he was raised by cowboys. He is accustomed to a life of rootlessness, violence, liquor, loose women, and gambling. The sheriff follows this badman around, expecting to nail him on a new misdeed.
All this seems to change, in this romantic old western, when Penelope, a young woman of the Quaker family that is nursing the bullet-wounded Evans back to health, falls in love with him. He gradually warms up to her. But she wonders--does love come all at once, or gradually? More important, are the feelings mutual?
The Quaker family prays that a greedy neighbor will let them have enough water for their flocks. Evans goes to the neighbor, and uses "friendly persuasion" to get him to release the water. It is even better than that. He completely changes his attitude to the Quaker family. "God works in mysterious ways," the family concludes.
In time, Evans has had enough of all the religiosity and "dullness". He leaves the farm, and goes back to his old life. Will he ever return to the heartbroken Penelope?
Evans is about to have a shootout with the men who originally wounded him. Just then, the Quaker family arrives on horse-drawn cart. Penelope, adhering to the Quaker belief in non-violence, persuades Evans to turn over his gun to her. Evans is then told by his adversaries to move away from the women, and to turn around. What now? Is he dead meat?

Rewiew of angel & the Bad Man
Added 7/19/2008
This will be short and sweet! This movie is one of the best early John Wayne movies. Made in the early 1940's, It has everything a good western should have; horses, a bar-room fight, cattle rustlin', and horses. Who could ask for more. (Also a love story mixed in.)

This is a great movie, BUT...........
Added 3/20/2008
This is a great movie, but do not buy this version put out by Alpha Studios. The picture is ok but the sound is terrible. Buy the Goodtimes version instead. The picture and sound on the Goodtimes version are great. The DVD cover has Mr. Wayne by himself with a gun. Check the other reviews for the movie description but don't buy this version!

It is one of John Wayne's Best "chick Flicks" and my personal favorites. To me it is worth a 5 star.
