The Iron Mistress (19-Nov-1952)

Director: Gordon Douglas

Writer: James R. Webb

From novel: The Iron Mistress by Paul L. Wellman

Producer: Henry Blanke

Keywords: Western, Biography

A lumber merchant from Louisiana becomes wealthy from land speculation and fall in love with a beautiful woman. He also designs a knife, giving title to this film. Highly fictionalized and whitewashed version of the life of Jim Bowie, who was much more of a scoundrel than this portrayal would lead you to believe.
