Thread: Why is Belle Starr (1941) rated so low?

Tierney was miscast, but who would want to see a young Marjorie Main type in the part? http://www.bellestarr-realty.com/Images/Site/Photo-BelleStarr2.jpg Judy Canova would have been better casting. You could say that Warren Beatty was miscast as Clyde Barrow, certainly they looked nothing alike and Beatty didn't help by keeping his 60s hair style. It ain't easy being green, or anything else, other than to be me

I know everyone has a different taste, but a 6.0 just isn't right. Is it because of the accuracy? I really don't get it.

I watched about 20 minutes of it on the Fox Movie Channel two years ago and I'm sorry to say that Gene did not give one of her best performances in the film. After all, this was one of her earliest ventures into screen stardom. Plus, I agree with the film's mention in The Chronicle of the Cinema that Gene was miscast.

because it sucks. In fact a 6 is far too good for it. A 3 is being generous. Tell mama, Tell mama all....
