When outlaw Quirt Evans (Wayne) is wounded during a bank robbery, he is taken in by a gentle Quaker family and nursed back to health by their lovely daughter Penelope Worth (Gail Russell). Quirt begins to rethink his violent lifestyle after falling in love with Penelope and being hounded by his rival Laredo Stevens (Bruce Cabot) and a laconic U.S. marshal named Wistful McClintlock (Harry Carey). With its excellent script, quirky characters, and a sweet-natured blend of comedy and action, ANGEL AND THE BADMAN is justly considered one of the best Westerns ever made. [More]

Reviews for Angel and the Badman
One of Wayne's top B efforts; an offbeat love story that works as a romance as well as a Western. Russell is luminous.
This impressive black-and-white Western, which marked Wayne's debut as producer, signals several elements of what would become the John Wayne iconic screen image, partly due to writer James E. Grant who was one of Duke's frequent collaborators.
