Audience Member . actors great A typical Randolph Scott movie. Not flashy, but steady performance from aa Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Weren't no gunman that killed him...kit was a wild beast. A US Marshall needs to run some local bandits out of town in what will be one of his last tasks before he settles down. He battles his inner demons and past that he will need to overcome if he hopes to be successful in his mission. He works with a former flame to right some wrongs and get himself out of his mess. "You look after me like a mother hen." "Old hen." Joseph Lewis, director of The Rifleman, Gun Crazy, The Big Combo, Invisible Ghost, The Swordsman, The Undercover Man, The Silver Bullet, and Bombs over Burma, delivers A Lawless Street. The storyline for this picture is very standard and straightforward. The action and acting is just okay. The cast includes Randolph Scott, Angela Lansbury, Jean Parker, Michael Pate, and Wallace Ford. "The beast will never growl again." This was a western that was recommended to me by Verizon Fios so I gave it a shot. This was a very classic but average addition to the western genre. I wouldn't go too out of my way to see this and this is likely only worth watching for diehard western genre fans. "He said he was coming back to kill you." Grade: C Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A standard western of the era starring one of the great, but forgotten Western Movie Stars; Randolph Scott. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Scott elevates this western above the average for that tiime Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather formula but enjoyable western about honest marshal Randolph Scott trying to clean up a town that's been overrunning by wealthy mining company owners who want to reopen the mines and make money off of all the miners, all at the expense of the good townsfolk. Joseph H. Lewis directed the film, so the action is dependably exciting, even if the story was not. Angela Lansbury (outside of "The Manchurian Candidate") will always be Jessica Fletcher to me, so it seemed really odd for her to be playing a leggy showgirl doing song and dance numbers. Nothing brilliant, but worth watching if you're a western fan. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 58/100. Very ordinary western, and very typical in it's day. Good color cinematography, but the art direction is fake looking and obvious, not unusual for westerns from the 50's. There wasn't much of an effort put forth on period detail either. Fine acting, Angela Lansbury's presence is a plus.
