Belle Starr (film)
''Belle Starr'' is a 1941 American Western film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Randolph Scott, Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, and Shepperd Strudwick. Written by Lamar Trotti and based on a story by Niven Busch and Cameron Rogers, it was produced by Kenneth Macgowan for 20th Century Fox, and shot in Technicolor. The film is very loosely based on the life of 19th-century American outlaw Belle Starr. It was the fourth film and the third sound film to portray Starr on the screen, but it was the first major Hollywood production to do so. Its success led to many more such portrayals, although the real Starr was fairly obscure during her lifetime. Plot Shortly after the Civil War, Belle Shirley hides the guerrilla leader Sam Starr, whose discovery and capture leads to the burning of the family mansion by Yankee soldiers. Vowing revenge, Belle breaks Sam and her brother out of jail and joins his band for a series of raids on banks, railroads, carpetbaggers, and enemy troops. ...
