You can’t beat the heat of Jane and Jeff…
While the chemistry between stars Jane Russell and Jeff Chandler is undeniable, they are taking part in a story that really has no point. Impulsively marrying the Native American Chandler whom she meets in Arizona, Russell gets more than she bargained for thanks to his jealous streak and suspicions. While learning to adjust to their cultural differences, Russell signs that he can’t adjust to her. He’s jealous of every man that she talks to, making violent accusations along the way. Only through the help of some wise Native American women who know how to deal with the temper of Native American men can help her deal with the situation and make him realize that his jealousies are unfounded.

That’s pretty much all the story line that the film has, and while both stars are gorgeous to look at, physical attractiveness does not necessarily make for a thoroughly engaging drama. It has elements of 1950 soap opera that are easily resolved, and one sequence with Russell discussing the situation with a Native American elder is quite touching.

There is an intriguing performance however, by Dan Duryea as the one man whom Chandler is most obsessed with jealousy over. His supporting character actually is more interesting than the two leading characters and that is a fault of the mediocre script. Still, it’s gorgeous to look at in that wonderful 1950 Technicolor and it’s also interesting to hear Chandler singing the same song over the credits. However, Chandler was better playing the Native American who befriends James Stewart in the Western classic broken hero which made him a star. Russell could attract attention by flipping pancakes, and you know nobody would be watching for scoop.Read More
