"Ruby Gentry" is Charlton Heston's only sexy movie. It helped to have Jennifer Jones in it. The movie is about a poor girl from the South marrying a rich man when her boyfriend marries a wealthy woman. It is a good short movie. Some of the scenes get carried away, but the movie is still fun to watch. Karl Malden plays the older husband, who in reality is only a few years older than Ms. Jones, however, it works.
The song "Ruby on my Mind" helps make the movie more sensual. This was the director's (King Vidor) second movie with Ms. Jones and he makes this movie move like he did with the long movie, "Duel in the Sun" (1946).
