Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review ashley h Springfield Rifle is an okay film. It is about Major Lex Kearney who becomes the North's first counterespionage agent. Gary Cooper and Phyllis Thaxter give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Andre De Toth did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r A different kind of western. A little spotty on the plot though. Beautiful scenery. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member You got one horse you can ride. What do you want with another you can't? Major Alex Kearney is a Union soldier who is about to be discharged. He volunteers to become the first Union spy and try to uncover how the confederates are discovering the routes for their supplies and horses so he can relay those details back to the Union. Can Alex infiltrate the confederates and discover how they keep stealing Union supplies? "Not used to giving orders, eh?" "Worse yet, I'm used to being obeyed." Andre De Toth, director of House of Wax (1953), Crime Wave, Day of the Outlaw, Play Dirty, The Mongols, and Carson City, delivers Springfield Rifle. The storyline for this picture is straightforward and doesn't have much going for it. The action is just average but the acting is solid. The cast includes Gary Cooper, Lon Chaney, Phyllis Thaxter, Philip Carey, and Alan Hale. "I've said everything I can say. I wish you'd go back but I can't make you." This is another western that was recommended to me via Fios so I DVR'd it randomly off Turner Classic Movies (TCM). This was a very average picture that doesn't have much going for it. Gary Cooper was his calm, cool, sarcastic self. Other than watching this for that quality in Cooper, I'd skip this film. "This idea of yours isn't working." "Give it a chance."
