Pearl/Lewt from Duel In Th Sun
Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten
Pearl (Jones) is the half breed child of a white man who is hanged. After his death, she goes to live with distant relatives in Texas and becomes the object of interest for two brothers. While Jesse (Cotton) is responsible and kind, Lewt (Peck) is rough and unruly. Pearl is coerced by Lewt, and her own undeniable attraction to him, into being his lover. This isn't quite as romantic as it sounds - while Lewt and Pearl are obviously in lust with one another, Lewt is physically abusive (he shoves pie in her face at one point and rapes her) and demanding to the point of treating Pearl like a child. Once Jesse discovers her illicit relationship with his brother, he doesn't disown her or shun her, but he quietly disentangles himself from her and marries another woman. Pearl then is stuck in a twisted, abusive relationship
