The Iron Mistress - Warner Archive Collection

After 10 successful years under contract to Paramount Pictures, Hollywood superstar Alan Ladd became a "free agent", and brought his box-office power to Warner Bros. to film this biography the famed pioneer Jim Bowie, beautifully photographed in stunning Technicolor®. Ladd stars as Bowie, who is a homespun gent, learning the courtly ways of 1825 southern society. He's wearing only the finest suits and cravats. Proving himself in business and at the gaming table. And should the occasion call for it, he keeps handy the specially made blade – tempered with meteorite steel – that would make his name forever a part of American lore. Yet despite Bowie's prowess in a world of dandies and ruffians, he may be overmatched in the ways of the heart. He's fallen for lovely Jubalon de Bornay. (Virginia Mayo), the magnolia bell fancied by men of means, from Natchez to New Orleans. Will her beauty be the only weapon more powerful than Bowie's Iron Mistress blade?
