So....if you took a good look at this poster then you probably saw the second name in the cast. Sorry. lol Anyway, the brief synopsis for this film on TCM's website was a little misleading; from what I read on Wiki Glenn Ford stars as a former military officer with plans to sell his land and start over again with his fiancee, but the tactics of the prospective buyer, a nearby ranch, are questionable at very least and he starts to question his decision. Barbara Stanwyck co-stars as the ranch owner's wife, who's having an affair with her brother-in-law. The agreement devolves into a battle for the land, and the ranch owner's innocent daughter comes to understand a lot about the dysfunction in her family as a result. 

The Violent Men is just after our primetime film so it should be easier to catch than some of the other films I've featured. We're closer to the end than the beginning so you know the drill--#summerunderthestars for the larger conversation on social media; #atvdailycinema if you watch The Violent Men so I can see what you think. See you tomorrow!
