The Man from Colorado is a disappointing film. It is about two friends who return home after their discharge from the army after the Civil War. Glenn Ford and William Holden give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Henry Levin did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

A typical western. The bad guy goes too far and the reluctant good guy is forced to step up and stop him.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
