Product Description:
Audie Murphy stars in this cookie-cutter revenge Western as a squeaky-clean Boy Scout hunting the man who killed his family, but it only crackles to life when black hat Dan Duryea steps onscreen with his hyena laugh and troublemaking high spirits. A corrupt sheriff and a scheming lawyer send eager beaver Murphy to arrest Duryea, a wanted killer and a devious foe, and are astounded when Murphy delivers--he was never intended to survive the experience. But Duryea takes a liking to the kid who orders a glass of water in a tough bar ('To drink?' asks the bartender incredulously), and tags along on his quest as a grinning shadow sidekick, leading him through the underworld and stirring things up just to see the fireworks. The rest of the film is often plodding and predictable, and the second-rate cast never makes an impression. It's Susan Cabot's third turn as Murphy's love interest, but there's hardly a spark between them. A stiff Russell Johnson--the Professor from Gilligan's Island--shows up as a hard-drinking henchman. --Sean Axmaker
