Featured review
Slow and steady
A dour, offbeat western with some good acting and some not so good acting. A seasoned director and a slightly larger budget might have made this really click. Still, if you like 50s B westerns, it's worth seeing.
A favorite scene of mine goes directly to the low budget of the film and the offbeat quality of the film. When Edgar Buchanan is thrown out of the bar across the the wood platform and onto the dirt street, we hear breaking glass as a sound effect! But then....he continues to grab his arm (the assumption is that is was hurt when he was thrown onto the street). I liked that. Very realistic. Something you almost never see in an old low budget film.
