Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of two films co-produced by Transcona Enterprises for Warner Brothers, which consisted of Judy Garland and her then husband Sidney Luft, the other film being A Star Is Born (1954). The third Transcona production was to be The Helen Morgan Story (1957) to star Garland, but after the tepid box office performance of 'Star', Garland and Luft bought out the rest of their contract with Warners.
- GoofsWhen Randolph rides into Twin Forks he is wearing a black hat and outfit and only has his saddle bags, bedroll and some supplies. When he goes asking questions he has a beige hat with a rolled brim and new outfit. Then when Randolph meets the doctor's daughter to go to church he has a totally different Stetson and is wearing a full suit with a vest. It's unlikely he could have all those clothes in his saddle bags but there is no way he could or would have been packing the two extra hats.
Featured review
A gem of a western
Bounty hunter Randolph Scott is on the trail of a trio of train robbers, but his work is cut out for him -- the three are outwardly respectable citizens, somewhat beyond the arm of the law.
One of my favourite Randolph Scott westerns is a satisfyingly gripping affair from the get-go. It touches upon the mystery-suspense genre, especially with Scott hunting the three bank robbers - now respectable citizens - and there are enough suspects to keep you guessing. One of them came as a surprise at the end - the aspect I liked though was the paranoia spreading to the town folk; they are nervous about the presence of Randolph Scott whose stone-faced countenance, grim determination and coldness predates the Boetticher westerns he made later.
The underrated Andre De Toth - who had directed a few other Scott westerns -directs impressively, keeping the suspense dialed up and maintaining that interest. It's a tautly-drawn, doesn't outstay its welcome and the plot is enticing as Marie Windsor's eyes.
