a5c7b9f00b When her brother is killed, Jean Shelby replaces himthe head of a gang of Confederate guerrillas. Bitter because she believes her fiancée, a captain in the Union Army, has betrayed her, she commits many depredations before she learns he was not the man responsible but, by then, it is too late. Ann Shelby, whose family is allied with the notorious William Quantrill, turns outlaw to revenge herself on a renegade Indian who killed her brother. Renegade Girl stars Ann Savage in this Lippert Production about a Belle Starr like outlaw who after some service with Quantrill&#39;s Raiders leads an outlaw band. The story is a rehashed version not of the real Belle Starr&#39;s story, but of the 20th Century Fox film that starred Gene Tierney and Randolph Scott. Elements of that plot are definitely present.<br/><br/>For the tough leader of an outlaw band this woman has a lot of issues. She has a mission that tops all, to get Chief Thundercloud who is another renegade leader who has a grudge against her family the Shelbys. What the grudge is we&#39;re not told, but he&#39;s wiped out her whole family except for her.<br/><br/>Ann&#39;s got Union Cavalry captain Alan Curtis and fellow outlaw Russell Wade panting after her, but her mission comes first.<br/><br/>Renegade Girl is a poorly plotted and shoddily directed affair. Only the most confirmed B western addicts should be looking at this one. This movie sounded amusing, so I tried to watch it (very) early this morning.<br/><br/>The dialogue is wooden and stilted beyond description, and not just a line here and there, but whole scenes! The plot is no better. None of the characters are sympathetic; the heroine scowls from scene to scene, half the males in the movie seem infatuated with her for unknown reasons, but of course, the only one she shows interest in is the one who ignores her during her months-long convalescence–failing to visitpromised until a few minutes after she leaves the home where she has been nursed back to health.<br/><br/>Had I been more wakeful, it might have been a jolly experience. As it was, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, a Montel infomercial was running. Alas, I missed the ending–but I did not much care.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t think anything was cut out of it. I suspect this is just a movie that just didn&#39;t come out the way someone must have imagined it.
