Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

darthfusion I caught this on the Grit channel a few weekends ago and while I don't really watch Westerns, I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't know Kirk Douglas was around long enough to be in Black & White movies!It's a solid movie with undertones of "obeying the law" vs "doing what's right".

david-546 The 1950's brought us a lot of great Westerns - The Naked Spur, High Noon, Man of the West, 3:10 to Yuma, Shane, Vera Cruz and others. Unfortunately this is not one of them despite the hand of the Great Director Raoul Walsh. No it is not bad but overall this is a routine western - straightforward story - Old guy wrongly accused of murder (Walter Brennan), taken by Marshall (Kirk Douglas) for trial, chased by rich rancher (Morris Ankrum) whose son was killed, Marshall has hots for old guy's daughter (Virginia Mayo) despite all the tension between them. It does have its moments and a good cast despite all the western clichés and Kirk Douglas's clenched teeth. Enjoyable though and wrapped up in a tidy 88 minutes.

MartinHafer The Marshall (Kirk Douglas) and his deputies come upon a lynching about to occur so they naturally stop it. However, the powerful rancher about to the hanging vows that the man MUST die or else. Well, despite being there being overwhelming odds against them, they vow to take the accused killer and cattle rustler to town to be tried in a court of law. Along the way, the accused (Walter Brennan) convinces the group to stop by his home overnight--a major hole in the plot, as I can't see any sane lawman willing to take such an unnecessary risk. Naturally, the guy's daughter (Virginia Mayo) tries to help him escape! Despite all this, eventually Douglas is able to get the man to town for the trial--though they barely make it. However, something doesn't feel right about the case. Brennan readily admits to the theft but there's an obvious (way too obvious if you ask me) alternate suspect in the killing.This is a decent western but there are a few plot points that didn't seem to work well. I already mentioned the stopping off at Brennan's house portion but there also was a back story about the death of Douglas' father that seemed forced and unnecessary--as did the budding romance between Douglas and Mayo which seemed more clichéd than anything else. Not a bad movie but not one that I'd heartily recommend--mostly because the real killer is way, way too obvious.

helpless_dancer Man accused of murder and rustling is taken on a perilous journey of several days duration. While on the trip to jail, the lawmen were plagued by a lynch mob, the rustler's willful daughter, and the dry, harsh terrain. After finally getting the man to trial, a final surprise awaited the marshal.
