HELENA CARTER, YVONNE DE CARLO & DAN DURYEA IN 'RIVER LADY'

Yvonne De Carlo and Dan Duryea in RIVER LADY 1948 Rating: ***1/2

In the James Cagney film noir KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE, full-lipped, flirtatious beauty Helena Carter was who Cagney was interested in even though he had a woman at home... while the opposite occurs here as her rich girl character's smitten with (and is quickly married to) gentle giant workingman Rod Cameron, despite his attraction to first-billed beauty Yvonne De Carlo...

Who owns the titular RIVER LADY river boat, personally managed by her scoundrel gambler cohort Dan Duryea... after giving Rod Cameron full control of a fledgling lumber mill: the main story that should have been secondary given Duryea's usual penchant for villains, needing far more screen-time throughout an otherwise semi-effective Technicolor Western/Romance/Melodrama.
