Canyon Passage starring Dana Andrews and Susan Hayward and Brian Donlevy
In 1856, ambitious freight company and store owner Logan Stuart (Dana Andrews) agrees to escort Lucy Overmire (Susan Hayward) home to the settlement of Jacksonville, Oregon, along with his latest shipment. Lucy is engaged to Logan’s best friend, George Camrose (Brian Donlevy). The night before they depart, however, Logan has to defend himself from a sneak attack in his hotel room; though it is too dark to be sure, he believes his assailant is Honey Bragg (Ward Bond). Later, he explains to Susan that he once saw Bragg leaving the vicinity of two murdered miners. Despite Logan’s unwillingness to accuse Bragg since he did not actually witness the crime!

This is a warm, beautiful, comfortable movie !
First time I have seen this movie and quite liked it. Lovely photography, aided by splendid scenery.
My one quibble – when Logan helped the Brian Donleavy character escape from ‘gaol’, he gave him his gun. OK, Logan didn’t know for sure that his friend WAS a murderer, but giving him a gun to use to kill anyone opposing his escape was criminally irresponsible
Another surprise alovely movie. Thank you.
