The Western That Couldn’t Make It Past Censors or Religious Review Boards

Few movies are as sadistic as King Vidor's 1946 psychological Western, Duel in the Sun. The characters have chaotic lives, forbidden romances, and dysfunctional families, and at the end of the film, each of them is in a worse place than before. The film even has an unhelpful gun-toting preacher who is supposed to help with the chaos. This Golden Age of Hollywood's star-studded film, while brilliant in some areas, is perhaps a result of the post-World War II trauma. Jennifer Jones as Pearl Chavez particularly goes through immense suffering. Throughout the film, her life is paved with so much pain that the slightest glimpse of brightness blindfolds her into a sadomasochistic relationship. At a time when films were rated based on their moral standing, Duel in the Sun had no chance with the censors. It failed to pass the moralistic list of guidelines by the Hays Code and religious review boards at the time, and even after undergoing heavy editing by state censor boards before its release, several states still banned the film. The Oscar-nominated film acquired a reputation for raunchiness, earning it the moniker Lust in the Dust.
