The Angel and the Badman (1947)

The consensus of the reviewers claim that this movie is some sort of anomaly among John Wayne's films because it has a soft-centered heart and spirit as it weaves the story of a "badman" nursed back to health and drawn into love by a naive Quaker lass (the lovely Gail Russell, who died far too young).  It is a sweet little film but I have seen the look of love in Wayne's eyes in many other of his films, not just here, and while it is a pleasant enough diversion, it does not number among his most memorable movies.
