Solid story, melodramatic and corny at times. Good role for Susan Hayward.

Neff</b> (posted on 5-Aug-2008)<p>A very good presentation of some of Oklahoma's early history, especially the oil town/city of Tulsa. Robert Preston in one of his best roles, as an oil well engineer, was believable and quickly got the attention his character deserved. Chill Wills (Pinky) stood apart in the role of his character and did not present the usual "sidekick" performance of later films. Pedro Armendarez, although a good actor, stayed mostly in the background as his characters usually did until he gave a commanding performance in "The Conquerer" even shinning brightly over John Wayne's faux performance as Ghengis Khan. Susan Hayward, as usual, stole the whole picture as the tough competitor Chreokee Lansing. This little film deserves it's rightful place in Hollywood's history. <p> <hr width=15% align=left><p><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
