      Audience Member Good western here you need to try it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 16, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review ogn d the most representative and authentic actor in western movies ever. by far the greatest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/16 Full Review Audience Member A bit uneven, a bit disjointed times, but overall, a good story that keeps your interest up. Randolph Scott is his usual, wooden self, and Forrest Tucker sometimes seems unsure of the plot himself, but they do tend to make a good love â" hate team. The story & the scenery both move along beautifully, and the end fight scene is definitely a keeper, and a credit to the choreographers of the fight (I won't give away any more than that). An enjoyable Western. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member good solid western oh yeah! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I can see why the western was beginning to die out in Hollywood around this time if this was typical of the era. Scott is good and there's a fine supporting cast, but the story is completely cornball. Good thing Anthony Mann and Budd Boetticher later brought new life to the genre. This is one that's not available on VHS or DVD, and I caught on TCM. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
