      Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Sports a lean narrative that has all the trappings for a solid allegory that feels as relevant today as it did in 1947.

      Audience Member Corny ranchers vs. farmers western. Randolph Scott lays Bat Masterson, who's the new sheriff of Liberal, Kansas. Anne Jeffreys plays the love interest, Robert Ryan an uncharacteristic nice guy and George "Gabby'' Hayes plays, what else, a cantankerous old man. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good western with randolph scott u know u get ur monies worth. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A steady but familiar story of good triumphing over evil in a lawless frontier town. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review dave j Thursday, November 25, 2010 (1947) Trail Street WESTERN Always in good guy roles Randolph Scott as Batt Masterson coming into the film 20 minutes into town to settle dispute between some crooked cattleman and honest farmers in old American Kansas! Although they're other films that have similar plots such as this one, and as an older b/w film, this one has a great build up, no gullible characters but does consist of some predictability with the good guys winning at the end! Robert Ryan also stars! 3 out of 4 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
