CANYON PASSAGE 1946 (UNIVERSAL)

Dana Andrews stars as a businessman who travels from various small towns selling his goods. He is torn between the love of two very different women.
This is classic western story telling and was directed by Jacques Tourneur who would again work with Andres on Curse Of The Demon ten years later.
The small town of Jacksonville, Oregon is settled amongst the cliffs of mountains and makes for a very unusual setting for a western.
This film is also known for it's brutal violence at the time such as settlers being massacred by Indians filmed in very interesting angles.
The technicolor is marvelous to look at as well as all the beautiful scenery. The supporting cast includes Brian Donlevy, Susan Hayward, Patricia Roc, Ward Bond, Hoagy Carmichael, Lloyd Bridges, Andy Devine and Onslow Stevens.
Highly recommended western which has a totally unique look to it.
