Reviews for Union Pacific
Released in 1939 and boasting patriotic zeal, DeMille's empire-building epic is one of his most impressive pictures, with wonderful performances from Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea at their peak.
Rip-snortin', old-fashioned Western, with understated McCrea and hammy Stanwyck a great team.
