1959
Directed by Budd Boetticher
This is a western that left absolutely no impression on my mind. Maybe it is because I have seen dozens and dozens of westerns by now because of the list that it takes something really special to move me. On with the review but honestly, I don't have too much to say about this.
A bounty hunter is escorting a man into town to be hanged but is pursued by the man's brother. Oh yeah and there is a dame.
It sounds like I hated this film, but really I didn't. It was a fun, short ride even with the slightly wooden actors. The cinematography was quite beautiful; you could tell that Budd was heavily influenced by John Ford.
Still, why it is considered a must see film is a mystery to me. Well, there are worst ways to spend an hour and twelve minutes.
RATING: **---
