Above Average Western-Scott, Marvin, Good Story, & Technicolor

LeonLouisRicci

Not as Good as the Boetticher-Scott Films, This One Inevitably Draws Comparison as it is Rich in Conflict and Moral Regards.

There are Some Attractions in this Above Average Western. Technicolor, Randolph Scott, and Lee Marvin are the Highlights. Surfacing from the Simplistic Yet Classic Tale of Greed and Men of Varying Scruples, are Some Rich Side-Characters from Familiar Character Actors.

Donna Reed is the Love Interest and Only in Hollywood is it Required She Falls in Love with the Honorable Soldier in an A Day and A Night. The Romance is Quick and Not Really Believable and is the Movies Shortcoming.

Overall, Worth a Watch Because it is Better than the Standard Stuff of Westerns in the Fifties, A Decade that Saw a Plethora of Pictures Set in the Wild Frontier. Fans of Scott Should Like it and Western Movie Fans can Add this to a Checklist of the Better Ones.

score 8/10
