    It's all done in one continuous shot so it looks real to me. At any rate, she did enough of it herself for me to be impressed! And she comes to a standing stop just in the right spot for her close up.

    One of the most impressive things about this movie is the way Gail Russell handles that two-horse team in her big introduction scene, whipping the wagon around a corner and then bringing it thundering to a stop right on her mark.

    To me, this movie has the easygoing spirit of the early oaters combined with a burgeoning maturity--it's like a fun kids' western with a heartfelt adult sensibility. Every element of the film is exquisitely rendered. It's just a beautiful, emotionally rich, visually stunning western that is endlessly and effortlessly appealing.
