Angel and the Badman stars John Wayne as wounded outlaw Quirt Evans. When sheltered by a Quaker family, he falls for the familys angelic daughter, Penelope (Gail Russell). Though she brings on a transformation in Quirts hard-boiled character for the better, he is ever-obsessed with avenging the killing of his foster father. The first starring vehicle that John Wayne produced himself, Angel and the Badman is an unconventional Western romantic classic that is richly entertaining for both fans of Wayne andthe Western genre.
