Lady from Louisiana is a 1941 American disaster film starring John Wayne.
It was produced and directed by Bernard Vorhaus for Republic Pictures.
Another mediocre, humdrum, film, again after such good films before it,
a bit of a, downward career step for Duke.
By today's standards, politically incorrect, in its racist portrayal,
with some parts of the film, being downright degrading!
The chemistry, did I say chemistry?
or the complete lack of it, didn't help, to say the least,
with Ona Munson(Gone With the Wind) being poor!
Although it was an expensive production, this was picture, full of cliches.
All in all, another poor showing for Duke!

John Wayne battles the forces of corruption down New Orleans way
in this passable time-killer.Henry Stephenson as the owner of a lottery game
that's been robbing the town blind and Ray Middleton
as his right hand man both put in decent performances.T
here's also a love story here but the sparks between Wayne and Ona Munson don't fly too far.
The ending with biblical overtones that could have stood some better special effects,
but all in all this film is fun to watch.
