The Redhead from Wyoming (1953)
Entertaining western in which Maureen O'Hara gives a gutsy performance as a dance hall owner who quickly becomes embroiled in a range war between settlers and cattle ranch owners played off against each other by a cut throat wannabe governor.
Even at short of 80 minutes there are times when this could drag but O'Hara's swashbuckling scenes mask any weaknesses in the script until we get to a nicely done and rather tense final twenty minutes.
Technicolor was invented purely for Maureen O'Hara and if it wasn't then it should have been.
