10. In 1946, Jones starred in the splashy Western epic "Duel In The Sun" as a Mexican spitfire who set two brothers, one good, one bad, against each other. Who played the bad one?
From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones
Answer:
Gregory Peck
The last half of the 1940s saw a long decline in Selznick's fortunes as he desperately tried to duplicate the success of "Gone With The Wind". He produced the overblown film of Niven Busch's "Duel In The Sun" for his future wife. Jones is Pearl Chavez who goes to live with the McCanles family in 1870s
Texas after her father is hanged for killing her adulterous mother. In one of his early roles Peck plays spoiled Lewt McCanles, who only thinks of women in terms of sex. Because of his lust, not love, for Pearl, he eventually picks up a murder charge, and finally he and Pearl unite after they fatally shoot each other!
Peck only played one other villainous role, as Joseph Mengele, in 1978's "The Boys From Brazil". For Peck at his best in a Western, see him as Ringo in Henry King's 1950 classic "The Gunfighter" (a far better film, to me, than "High Noon"!)
In 1956's "The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit", Peck would be Jones' husband, an exec who had an affair with Italian girl Pier Angeli and had an son with her. Jones was enraged on finding out this, but later Peck repented and reconciled with his wife.
