Gail Russell brought fragile, luminous beauty to 1940s Hollywood, and her wide-eyed vulnerability made her a natural fit for gothic mystery and romance. The Uninvited is the haunting highlight, Angel and the Badman nurses a wounded outlaw in a Quaker home, Moonrise fears a man will repeat his father’s violence, Wake of the Red Witch obsesses a sea captain with sunken treasure, and Seven Men from Now hunts outlaws across the frontier. The Unseen rounds out the list.
01 Gail Russell is in this Budd Boetticher western about a former sheriff who hunts the outlaws responsible for his wife's death across the unforgiving frontier.
