Rachel And The Stranger

Starring: Loretta Young, William Holden, Robert Mitchum, et al.

Product Description

William Holden, Loretta Young and Robert Mitchum are the powerhouse performers in this great Western classic that The New York Times hailed as "excellent moviemaking." Splendidly depicting the untamed frontier of the 1820s, the film tells the impassioned story of Big Davey Harvey (Holden), a stoic backwoodsman who "buys" and marries a bondswoman, Rachel (Young), to care for and educate his motherless son. Neither the father nor son find much to appreciate in Rachel until Jim Fairways (Mitchum), a guitar-strumming hunter, shows a romantic interest in her. Violent jealousy erupts between the two men, settled only after a spectacular raid on the Harveys' homestead by unmerciful Shawnee Indians. But which man will win Rachel's heart?

Customer Reviews

A lovely western romantic comedy

This movie is dramatic, romantic, historical and fun. It depicts a story that occurs in the unsettled territory with great actors. Pulls no punches and has humor and drama and some exiting scenes. It’s older but gooder.
