First, a little historical background: Belle Starr did have a daughter. Originally named Rosie Reed, she later changed it to Pearl Starr. Unlike her mother, she didn't ride with the wolves, so to speak. Mostly, she became a prostitute, later owning several bordellos and other businesses. Evidently, she was a good business woman. In this film, she's called Rose and is played by Ruth Roman. For a brief period, she rides with the remnants of her mother's gang, after her mother's death. This film followed the 1941 film "Belle Starr", with leads Randolph Scott, and a young Gene Tierney. That was filmed in color, with the present one in B&W. ....... Rose has 2 sometimes suitors in George Montgomery, as Marshal Tom Jackson, and very tall Rod Cameron, as Bob 'Bitter Creek' Yauntis: a holdover from Belle's gang, who becomes the new leader of the small gang, upon Belle's death. The overriding question for Rose is : who killed her mother(It's never been agreed who killed the real Belle Starr). Bob and sidekick Yuma were the last members of her gang known to have been in her house, where she and Uncle Jim were shot, said to be found dead by Marshal Tom and his crew, who arrived not long after Bob and Yuma departed. Tom's bunch buried the two(a mighty quick decision), and burned her house, which didn't help Tom's plea that he didn't do the killing. The audience knows who killed Belle, as they saw the shooting. Belle was angry with Bob and Yuma because they had gone over to Antioch and killed the marshal. She said she would turn them over to the new marshal(Tom) for trial and punishment(probable hanging). Hence, Bob shot her to prevent this. Near the end of the film, a mortally wounded Yuma confesses to Rose that he saw Bob shoot her mother, something Rose doesn't believe at first. But, she never finds out why he killed her......This revelation causes a complete change in Rose's attitude toward Tom, whom she had assumed was the killer. Meanwhile, Tom has been chasing Bob and his 2 remaining gang members:Brone and Slim. With remarkable accuracy, while riding his horse, he shoots down the latter 2 , then mortally wounds Bob, who also falls off his horse. Bob, on the sneak, nearly kills Tom, wounding him in the thigh before dropping over dead. His last words were "You're wrong about one thing, Marshal. You'll never hang me". Wounded in both his shoulder and thigh, Tom initially acts hostile when Rose appears. But, she melts his icy reception with the news that she now regards Bob as her mother's murderer. Tom says he will have to arrest her and she will spend some time in jail. She expected that, and asks if he will wait for her. After a moment's reflection, he says "Yes", and they ride off together........The director was Lesley Selander, who had an extensive resume of westerns directed, albeit that most were B westerns. This film had the feel of something between an A and B film. It had an A running time of nearly 11/2 hours, but the B&W cinematography, and certain cheap performances made it feel more like a B picture. They must have been using black powder cartridges, there was so much smoke associated with firing their weapons! See it at YouTube.
