If you're starting to think Randolph Scott westerns blur together and he doesn't have a distinctive character in each movie, you might be lumping Decision at Sundown into the mix. It's not the best one out there, but you can remember it because Scottie has a chance to cry-and how often does that happen?
This one is admittedly a B-picture, and it starts off similar to some of his other westerns: he's out for revenge. As handsome and charming as he was, Randolph Scott didn't often have romances or love scenes in his movies. I read his biography, and part of the reason for that was because he was so happily married, he didn't want to kiss other women. So, you might notice the pattern in some of his movies that he's grieving for his dead wife or fiancé - like in this one.
Scottie comes to town with his sidekick, Noah Beery Jr., intent on holding the killer responsible. If Scottie's pal looks familiar, you might recognize him from Gung Ho! How cute, for the two costars to be reunited fifteen years later. I always enjoy Randolph Scott westerns, but if you're new to his movies, this one probably won't be the best one to start with.
