Charlton Heston may be featured prominently on the dvd cloak but the accurate star of this passionate melodrama is Jennifer Jones. In one of her best roles, she plays the title role, a sultry North Carolina backwoods girl from the spoiled side of the tracks. She’s in treasure with Boake Tackman (Heston), a blueblood land developer who betrays her by marrying a wealthy girl that his family approves. Ruby vows revenge on him and the townspeople by marrying a wealthy doctor (Karl Malden) and gaining entry into the high society that shunned her.

This taut and stark small drama, directed by the spacious King Vidor, was a box office hit in 1952 and helped revive Jennifer Jones’ career, who had suffered a previous string of flops. The title tune, a mournful ballad played on a harmonica, was also a tremendous hit. The film features fair performances all around - in addition to the leads, there is honorable benefit from Karl Malden and Josephine Hutchinson. The rich sad and white photography (by Russell Harlan) is excellently rendered on this dvd. Unfortunatley, there are no extra features.
“Ruby Gentry” is one of a string of intense and fiery melodramas that remind me so well of the proliferation of night time soap operas that blossomed during the 1980s. This film stars Jennifer Jones at her sultry best as Ruby, a no-account white trash raised in the rugged swamplands. The flame of her dishonorable intentions is turned up at the first peep of rich and bo-hunky, Boake Tackman (Chalton Heston) . Boake allows Ruby to net terminate to him but he never once considers their youthful dalliances anything more than slumming. When Boake enters into a marriage proposal with Tracy McAuliffe (Phyllis Avery), done more for community property than gigantic amour, Ruby dives head first into a love-less marriage of her occupy to Jim Gentry (Carl Malden) . Jim’s financial success allows Ruby to gussy herself into respectability which is short lived after a boating accident claims Jim’s life. Ruby’s lack of mourning arouses suspicion from the local town folk. More than a few eyebrows win raised when Ruby makes another passionate pitch for Boake’s affections not long thereafter. Rejected by Boake once more - this time for her reputation rather than lack of money - Ruby’s passion ignites into bitter sadism. She purposefully destroys Boake’s farm. There is more to this sordid yarn, but I’ll cessation short of giving away all the trade secrets.
MGM’s DVD is rather impressive. The B&W record exhibits a very nicely balanced gray scale with unexcited, solid blacks and very tidy whites. Age related artifacts are explain throughout but do not distract. Some minor edge enhancement crops up but pixelization is kept to a minimum. Overall the characterize will surely not disappoint. The audio is mono but more than adequate for a film of this vintage. There are no extras.
