Untamed Frontier (1952)

In the heartland of the American West, a tense battle for territory unfurls. The influential Denbow family, guardians of vast swaths of land, are hell-bent on thwarting homesteaders from accessing free grazing land granted by the U.S. government. The only path to this promised pasture lies perilously through the tightly-held Denbow property, a fortress protected by an army of loyal cowhands. Glenn Denbow, the family's audacious heir, finds himself ensnared in a cunning gambit to evade a murder charge. His only route to salvation is through matrimony with Jane, the lone witness to his crime. Jane, despite her unacknowledged love for Glenn, aligns her sympathies with the beleaguered settlers. As Glenn's attention wanders back to Lottie, his manipulative old flame, a budding warmth kindles between Jane and Glenn's cousin, Kirk Denbow, further muddying the waters of loyalty and love. The taut threads of tension snap as an impending range war looms ominously on the horizon. This conflict converges with a clandestine rustling expedition, pushing the frontier to its untamed limits. In this high-stakes game of power and passion, alliances are tested, boundaries are breached, and the wild western frontier reveals its true, untamed nature.

Untamed Frontier is a western movie featuring Joseph Cotten and directed by Hugo Fregonese.
