Three Violent People (1956)

In the tumultuous aftermath of the American Civil War, battle-weary Captain Colt Saunders returns to his ancestral Texas homestead, the Bar S Ranch. His return is marked by an encounter with the enigmatic Lorna Hunter, a former belle from St. Louis with a mysterious past. Unaware of her history, Colt is drawn to her strength and resilience, swiftly proposing marriage. Colt's homecoming is fraught with familial tension as he confronts his disgruntled brother, Beauregard 'Cinch' Saunders. Bearing the scars of a childhood accident for which he blames Colt, Cinch's resentment toward his brother adds to the simmering discord at the ranch. The arrival of Lorna, now Colt's wife, initially enchants the ranch folk, but the tranquility is short-lived. Colt finds himself at odds with Harrison, the corrupt commissioner of a faltering provisional government that threatens to seize the vast Texas ranches. As the leader of the ranchers, Colt is determined to resist their usurpation. The situation intensifies when one of the government lackeys recognizes Lorna from her past life in St. Louis, potentially exposing secrets that could undermine Colt's trust and their newfound happiness. Amidst the looming political turmoil, the bitter sibling rivalry, and the uncertainty surrounding his pregnant wife's past, Colt must also navigate his relationship with his loyal friend Innocencio Ortega. As the plot thickens, Colt is plunged into a whirlwind of personal and political battles, testing his resolve and the bonds of family, friendship, and love.
