| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score by Dimitri Tiomkin is simply amazing. |
| 2 | * DirectorDisplacement: Producer David O. Selznick over credited director Creator/KingVidor. |
| 3 | * FanNickname: "Lust in the Dust", a name slapped pejoratively at the film by the Catholic Legion of Decency, but which became an affectionate name for the film since it typifies the movie's plot, style and ''tone''. |
| 4 | * MoralEventHorizon: Lewt crosses this when he guns down Sam Pierce and derails a train. |
| 5 | * NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: After [[MoralGuardians moralists]] and wags in the press dubbed the movie "Lust in the Dust" because of its problems getting approval under UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, producer David O. Selznick employed the strategy Creator/HowardHughes used when ''Film/TheOutlaw'' ran into similar trouble with censors by using the controversy about the movie's allegedly salacious content in its promotional campaign.[[note]] George S. Kaufman dubbed the advertising "A Sale of Two Titties".[[/note]] |
| 6 | * SoBadItsGood: With the exception of people like Creator/MartinScorsese, this movie is regarded as an overwrought mess by most film critics and historians. Still, it has attracted a devoted cadre of fans who love it for its [[{{Melodrama}} excessively melodramatic style]], [[WorldOfHam over-the-top performances]], dated views on race and sexuality, [[QuestionableCasting now-questionable casting choices]], and overly florid dialogue. |
| 7 | * TheissTitillationTheory: Regarding Creator/JenniferJones, natch. One of Pearl's dresses in particular at one point is only [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cEqcxij7AU8/Wvi1bJ5fsNI/AAAAAAAAHeY/kxRWe64TsDU_G6QT13wqh-IBdhg-5IFRQCLcBGAs/s800/duel.jpg hanging on for dear life on one of her shoulders.]] |
| 8 | * ValuesDissonance: The Hays Code prohibited interracial relationships on screen, hence [[spoiler: Pearl's death]]. |
