Review of Roughshod

Roughshod (1949)
6/10
very typical western... Gloria steals the show
8 September 2018
Some fun names in here....Gloria Grahame was in SO many noir films of the time. and she really steals the show here. Robert Sterling, John Ireland. Cowboy is travelling out in the old west, and comes to the rescue of four dancing girls, who left town suddenly when dancing is no longer allowed. and of course, some dangerous, escaped convicts are also still in the area. Lots of talking and arguing. Shooting, galloping. Show down at sun down. Written by Peter Viertel, who had come over from Germany under hitler. Directed by Mark Robson. It's okay. typical western. Family sometimes looking out for family. sometimes not. hunting for outlaws. shows on Turner Classics.
