deke p 03/14/2021 1953! RANDOLPH SCOTT!!! PHILIP ('Granny Goose'/Kappa Sigma)CAREY!! Scott as a schoolteacher, gunslinger, undercover Union Army agent/officer. vs evil CONFEDERATE/slaveholder sympathizers. All in SAN PEDRO, SANTA MONICA area. That's why i gave it 5 stars. Plus see the youtube clip Blazing Saddles + "YOU'D DO IT FOR RANDOLPH SCOTT!" OH, and some very young man playing Scott's ally, JUAQUIN MURRIETA. Oh, and ALAN HALE, bigger, younger, stronger than as the Captain on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. Never saw it before on the GRIT network Channel 30.3 in SoCal, 3.2021, See more 04/11/2012 standard issue scott western See more 03/11/2010 Very ordinary western with very familiar two-dimensional characters. The story has a good pace to it, but is ultimately dissapointing. See more Read all reviews
