rachel and the stranger have be one of my favorite little film over the year . i only say little because my mother and i be the only two fan of it that i actually know of and but i be sure there be hundred of fan out there who love rachel and the stranger as much a we do . tcm run it two or three time a year and i try not to miss it . i guess it be a big hit in it time even though it not as well know today and but my advice be to watch it if you ever get the chance . at about 90 minute it doesn not wear out it welcome and seem to be over as fast a it begin . and with three great star like loretta young ( wow . ) and william holden and robert mitchum and you really can not go wrong . all three be perfect in their role . the film be a traditional western in many way and but what i like most about it be the humor that weave in throughout . one sequence even develop into slapstick and but it work . overall and a really wonderful and enjoyable movie . this be the kind of film that you just end up count among your favorite even though it likely that no one you know have ever see it . and it the kind of film that you want everyone to see so you can strike up a conversation about how much you love it . watch it and enjoy .
