Duel On The Mississippi (1955)

For the Jedi it is time to watch as well, so join me, Jedi Master Derk Popwalker, as I dive into a galaxy of Classic Movies or two in The Weekend Watch with DK Classics — a little corner of the cosmos where the popcorn is warm, the lightsabers are dimmed, and the fun begins.

An aristocrat (Lex Barker) has a machete duel with the leader (Warren Stevens) of a Creole girl’s (Patricia Medina) bayou gang in the 1820s Louisiana.
