Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review ashley h The Bounty Hunter is an okay film. It is about a bounty hunter who trails 3 unknown murderous train robbers to a town and finds a host of suspects. Randolph Scott and Doris Dorn 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 action.

Randolph Scott plays the title role dressed in black. A lawman without a badge, he explains his occupation as one of wishing to enforce the law but "not wanting to break up fights or throw drunks in jail." When asked by the town sheriff why he became a bounty hunter, he counts his cash reward, replying, "I'm counting the reasons, and they're ten short". the last of six Randolph Scott Westerns directed by André de Toth. It was released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was filmed in 3-D but released in standard format, though a 3-D print exists in the Warner archives. Stock footage from Carson City is used at the beginning of the film I think that this is such a classics movie 2 watch, I think that this is such a really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch, its got good fight scenes throughout this movie....man this is such a thrilling movie 2 watch, its got such a fantastic cast throughout this movie.....man this is such a gripping, thrilling movie 2 watch, its such a great westerns movie 2 watch it is such a great movie 2 watch with a fantastic cast throughout this movie.....it is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member André De Toth directed this routine Randolph Scott western. Scott is hired by the Pinkerton detective agency to find three killers who robbed a train. He trails them to a small town, but doesn't know their identities. There's a serviceable cast that includes Dolores Dorn, Marie Windsor, Ernest Borgnine, Dub Taylor and Fess Parker, though I was a bit baffled that this film 90 minute film had an intermission .
