VHS – GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING

On the eve of the Civil War, gambler Owen Pentecost rides into Denver with charm, grit, and a hidden agenda. When he wins a saloon in a poker game, he finds himself caught between two women, a town divided by politics, and a cache of Confederate gold that could tip the balance of the coming conflict. Loyalties shift, passions ignite, and the stakes rise as the war draws near.

Directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Robert Stack, Virginia Mayo, and Ruth Roman, this Technicolor western blends frontier tension with romantic intrigue. With its sweeping landscapes, moral ambiguity, and a poker hand that changes everything, Great Day in the Morning is a slow-burning gem of 1950s Americana.
