Dallas -- Laconic Western in which a former Confederate officer (Gary Cooper) comes to Texas seeking the outlaw raiders (Raymond Massey and Steve Cochran) who torched his home and killed his family in wartime Georgia. Directed by Stuart Heisler, the formula plot has some interesting wrinkles as Cooper pretends to be a U.S. marshal, saves a Mexican ranch from landgrabbers and finds true romance (Ruth Roman) along the way. Frontier violence and romantic complications. (A-II) (br) 1950
