Stanwyck is cast as Sierra Nevada Jones, who hopes to stake her claim in the cattle business despite opposition from hostile land barons. She is helped along by government agent Farrell, even though he's officially on hand to find out who's been inciting the local Indian tribes into attacking the whites. Lance Fuller delivers a well-balanced performance as Colorados, a college-educated Indian chief who hopes to bring peace to the land. Long a fixture of TV's Late Late Shows, Cattle Queen of Montana was briefly reissued theatrically when Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A predictable and unimpressive PC Western.
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Visually fascinating Western has lots of plot, and an attack on racism in the Old West.
