Alain E This is the first movie ever directed by Roger Corman and doesn’t look half bad. It has an ambiguous uncertain ending that avoids traps of convention. Dorothy Malone as the main female character is especially good. Color photography is competent. This feature was released a few months before I was born, so it took me less than 70 years to catch it on Tubi.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This isn't exactly refined, which is about right for a Corman film, but I still enjoyed it for what it is. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "All I Got Left Is My Life, I Aim To Keep It." Roger Corman's first time behind the camera is not a revelation. But it's a solid, cheap Western. The Confederacy pardons five outlaws in an effort to free a Yankee stagecoach of its gold fortune. But most of the film is spent waiting...waiting...waiting...as tensions between the five outlaws build while Dorothy Malone's rancher keeps thrusting herself in front of the gang's soft headed psychotics. There are glimpses of Corman's brilliance--one central location used to its fullest and glimpses of brutal, sexually sinister dialog. Five Guns West will probably only be remembered as Corman's first film, but it deserves more than to be so simply dismissible. VF.
