      High Lonesome

      Released Sep 1, 1950 1h 20m Western List
      Reviews At a sprawling Texas ranch, a mysterious young man nicknamed Cooncat (John Barrymore Jr.) tells rancher Horse Davis (Basil Ruysdael) an improbable story about a murder at a nearby trading post. His descriptions of the men he believes committed the crime, Smiling Man (Jack Elam) and Roper (Dave Kashner), fit those of two members of a rival family who were killed during a land fight years earlier. Another shooting draws Horse's future son-in-law, Pat Farrell (John Archer), into the mystery. Read More Read Less Watch on Prime Video Stream Now

      Audience Member This was a pretty well made grade 'B' movie about the tribulations of a young man in the old west. The ranch scenes were made on my cousin's cow ranch near Hot Springs (Truth or Consequences) New Mexico. The Bull rider, Bo Johnson, is my cousin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
