Other King Vidor movies I have seen include DUEL IN THE SUN, NORTHWEST PASSAGE, WAR AND PEACE, THE FOUNTAINHEAD, and MAN WITHOUT A STAR. Just my opinion but STELLA DALLAS is a MASTERPIECE. Love Barbara Stanwyck’s performance in STELLA DALLAS and I think she should have won the Oscar for her work in the film.
