: The Burning Hills
Author: Louis L’Amour (novel) and Irving Wallace
Director: Stuart Heisler
This is a western about a Mexican girl helping a cowboy escape some bad dudes. Natalie Wood’s miscast as the girl, and though she’s not terrible, she looks like she’s in pain having to pretend to be something she’s physically not. The accent’s piled on as thickly as her dark make-up. Though there are a few scenes of romantic humor where Natalie shines, overall the movie is slow and rather boring compared to modern shoot-em-ups.
