Rachel and the Stranger


guess what peeps its time for another movie review. I chose this movie for two reason first becuase it stars two of my favorite Hollywood dream boats Robert Mitchum and William Holden. and second...becuase it was on TCM the other day.

the movie is set In colonial America, and opens when David Harvey (William Holden), a recent widower living in the wilderness, decides that his young boy Davey needs a woman around to help raise him. He goes to the nearest settlement and buys an indentured servant named Rachel, played by the beautiful (Loretta young). so after he Marries Rachel he take her back to his cabin we find out there marriage is in name alone and Rachel serves more as a servant than a wife. I persoanlly dont see how Willam holden could treat her so badly, I mean look at this picture of her that I found and try not to use the word statuesque.


So Rachel does as shes told and works for Mr, Harvey and helps raise his son proper...that is, Until Jim Fairways (Robert Mitchum), who looks like a Davey Crockett wannabe, visits the cabin and falls in love with Rachel. now Rachel finds herself choosing between the man who married her for connivance and a man who wants to marry here for love. since I'm never one for spoilers you'll just have to watch it and see how it ends for yourself

and i have a special treat for you who really want to see the movie. I was looking for the trailer on youtube and found the whole movie. so here is part one and if you wanna see the rest just type in the title and go and watch the whole things. i give it a 3 out of 5.
