The Gay Sisters-Goes Unmerrily Off the Track **1/2
14 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Donald Woods tells the oldest of his 3 daughters never to sell the land-in land there is value! This is not "Gone With the Wind" in any sense of those famous words.

There is too much going on here. After feuding with George Brent for half the film, we suddenly learn that they were once married and in a one-night stand, a child was produced.

If that isn't enough, Gig Young got his stage name from this film by playing a character by the name of Gig Young! Well, after all, they shoot horses, don't they?

It is never fully realized which sister Young goes to the tempestuous Geraldine Fitzgerald, who proved her nastiness once again and the usual benign Nancy Coleman.

Barbara Stanwyck plays the hard-boiled eldest of the 3 sisters, but in reality, she is anything but. She tries to do the ultimate in the end by giving the child up to dad, George Brent, but you know where that will come to.

Gene Lockhart, as a family attorney, showed that he had some devil in him, by embezzling family funds and Donald Crisp showed his meddle as an understanding but extremely competent attorney.
