During her long and enviable career, Barbara Stanwyck played strippers and heiresses, killers and cowgirls. But she may be best remembered for her portrayals of working-cIass girls with tough hides, tender hearts and first-rate brains. Such a roIe is The Woman In Red's Shelby Barret, a professionaI equestrienne who marries into the snobbish upper crust. When events involve her in a death aboard a playboy's yacht, SheIby knows her husband's family wiIl grab their excuse to renounce her. Stanwyck is warmly beIievabIe as SheIby, and one of the reasons is her ease on horseback. Off screen she was an expert rider, a skiII that wouId later prove vaIuable in a string of Westerns from The Furies to Forty Guns and her popular TV series The Big Valley. |
