Brand of Shame (1968)

This isn't your typical Western. *Brand of Shame* subverts the genre with a sharp, sapphic power struggle at its heart. The tension crackles between a naive schoolteacher clutching a golden secret and a ruthless, magnetic dance-hall owner who will stop at nothing to possess it. It’s a tense, slow-burn thriller about greed and forbidden desire, perfect for viewers craving a revisionist Western with a queer edge. Watch for the atmospheric saloon, the morally gray characters, and a battle of wits that feels deliciously dangerous.
