Riders of the Purple Sage
Based on Zane Grey's book of the same name. The movie makes no
mention of the fact that most of the Characters are Mormons and the
plot that drives the storyline involves an avaricious “Brother”
who covets the land a single woman has inherited and woman ought not
to remain independent. The movie makes of this a range war in which
the body count piles ever higher and higher. And since most Westerns
are romances at heart count the gunslinger who rides in to rescue the
damsel in distress and the ranch hand who nurses the gal he shot as a
masked cattle rustler and falls in love. The DVD transfer is
full-screen which tends to waste the awesome scenery and the disk
offers one option only—PLAY.
