DUEL IN THE SUN (1946)

KING VIDOR

Plot

Somewhat derisively known as 'Lust In The Dust' this film is shot in beautiful scenery and tells the story of two brothers, Cain and Abel, fighting over a steamy half-breed sexpot while their father broods over his crumbling empire. The climatic shoot-out has an absurdist magnificance that defies criticism.
