Pursued (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, Teresa Wright. The Rand and Callum families are feuding, and Jeb Rand (Mitchum), the only surviving Rand, is being hunted by the Callum clan. In an odd twist, Jeb is adopted at a young age by a Callum family. He ends up fighting with his stepbrother Adam and falling in love with his stepsister Thor (Wright). When, as an adult, Jeb ends up killing Adam (in self-defense), Thor's love turns to hate. This is a psychological Western with a non-standard plot, and even though the dialogue is a bit ham-handed at times, it's interesting to watch. The only subtitle option is the closed-captions, which are good enough. Grade: B
