May's first TNT brings us 1946's A Duel in the Sun, a Western film starring an all-star cast of Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten, Lillian Gish & Lionel Barrymore. TCM describes the movie a little differently than Wikipedia does, saying that the flick is about a half-breed separating a rancher's good from bad sons. Wikipedia describes the movie as being about a girl moving with Anglo relatives and having a forbidden love. Guess we'll find out which one is accurate.
Most of the time that I say this sentence I'm going to say in reference to a movie or a genre of a movie, I end up wrong but I'm going to say it anyway. Typically speaking, I'm not really into Westerns and don't prefer to watch them. I recognize the legacy of talent such as John Wayne and Clint Eastwood was created in Westerns, but they're about up there with war flicks for me--just not my thing. Which is funny considering I love historical and period pieces. LOL Don't ask me how this contradiction exists; it works for me. Anywho, here's the trailer:

*By the by, I'll be getting to April's TNT in Review within the next couple of days. And this time I promise I've got the times right for the TNT, I recorded everything in EST instead of my home timezone of MST. Mistakes happen. Unfortunately they usually happen to me. LOL Either way, I's sorry.*
