1950 · Film · 84 min
Directed by John Farrow
A group of copper miners, Southern veterans, are terrorized by local rebel-haters, led by deputy Lane Travis. The miners ask stage sharpshooter Johnny Carter to help them, under the impression that he is the legendary Colonel Desmond. It seems they're wrong; but Johnny's show comes to Coppertown and Johnny romances lovely gambler Lisa Roselle, whom the miners believe is at the center of their troubles.

The US Navy refused to buy her technology saying it was "too bulky," only to start developing it themselves soon after the patent had expired. That may have been a pretext to avoid buying the technology, but in any case today her invention would be weightless -- implemented in software with SDR.
By the way, the movie she's best known for is boring in my opinion (especially if you don't speak German). Boom Town and Copper Canyon were more entertaining.
