Edgar Buchanan, whatever role he played, he delivered the best performance. Peace from Kirkuk.
Another great character actor is Morris Ankrum starting in 1933 he was in over 300 movies and tv ,western bad guy. Sifi, judge, he could play any role and countless TV role's never lacked for work as he like Buchanan knew everyone in the business.
you right on about Ankrum,and his distinct voice,even if the movie is bad,I could watch it with him in it,he was just a character who fit,never looked like he was acting,we'll never see another like him, I wish he did more westerns and my favorite, film Noir
Opening Scene of Buchanan on the porch, OMG, what a treat.
EDGAR BUCHANAN, ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTER ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD.
Hope he didnt die in the movie
@@dookoonu2741 It's only a movie Dookie Boy, Like our parents told every one of us - Only a movie.
Absolutely right Jose.
Uncle Joe is moving kinda slow at the Junction.
What an F rated move 😳🫣👎👎
Really a Good One! Just simple. Not Easy. But Plain and Simple. Fine Cast!
I bet they all donated their Salary to the production. The Star, Earle Lyon, was the Producer.
Very interesting movie! Good over evil. We need that today!
republicans vs democrats
The last 5 minutes of this film is so funny, there is so many f--k ups 👏👏👏🤣😂
This western kind of sneaks up on you if you stay with it. An independent production made on a shoestring, it has a strong ensemble of very good character actors. Edgar Buchanan, Marie Windsor, Morris Ankrum, Barton MacLane, and Lon Chaney Jr, raise this film above the average "B" movie duster. In fact, in some aspects it seems more realistic and authentic then some "A" movie westerns. The film "High Noon" was made in 1952 and you can see it's strong influence on this movie which was released in 1955. Ian MacDonald, who co-wrote this film, had a supporting role in "High Noon" as one of protagonists to Gary Cooper's Marshal Will Kane character. Overall this is a decent oater and worth watching. Cheers from Canada.
I agree... I just thought the ending was a bit weak ... perhaps the Sheriff could have tossed his star and walked away ... but then Grace Kelly didn't stand by her convictions in High Noon either...still this is a darn good picture.
A "B" oater; a cast of character actors, a plot following HIGH NOON, and a genre western format, as an "indie" from the 1950s. No costume changes, no horses falling, This was what I grew up watching. Saturday afternoons at the Ritz, watching the "B" cowboy stars and then a more modern western later.
sheriff was a coward
Agreeable oater, it allows some of the great character players, like Buchanan, Chaney, and Barton MacLaine, a chance to shine--and there's Marie Windsor, usually associated with some very fine noir films of the decade. ***
35 minutes in and this is one slow movie
Good. Classic. One. 🎉🎉🎉💢💥💫👍
🤠👍
Great cast, pretty good movie I had not seen. 👍
Gotta go ĺook for writer of script find out if The Weed" he smokin ,,is it Foreign or Local🤗😎
Very slow. If the sheriff had gone down to the saloon with a double barrel shotgun, he would have sorted out those guys in jig time. But then the film would have shorter lol
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Extra shells, OO buck, 2 extra pistols concussion grenades, .30 cal (7.62 Nato)M-60 machine gun, body armour, etc, etc Squad Auto Weapon, RPG, Javelin, NLAW,Abrams, Bradley, etc, etc...
Interesting that Ian Mc Donald is one of the producers, and writers, good for him , plus A very Interesting cast with bucannon in the lead. Love watching those b films.
zero
Wow! Great cast! Thank you for posting !!! 🎥🎞️🖤🎞️🎥
I think he stayed on as Sheriff but didn't stay with the woman. He stopped loving her in the middle of her speech.
Considering the budget constraints that cheapie Lippert put on them, Lyon and Bartlett put out a pretty good product.
Another great western.
Great movie! Love Edgar ❤️
I would've hated all that singin' had this been a Saturday matinee when I was a kid. Hardly any ridin', all talk and no shootin' 'til the last ten minutes! And whoever drinks Bristol Cream sherry in a Western? Hold yer horses, did product placement pay for the whole dern flick? But it had some nice cinematography and some great actors. And busting a crooked lawyer is a rare decency that only a grownup can appreciate.
A pretty good story, Thank you very much for the post.😊
Beautyfull song .............
I do not know if I have ever seen Edgar Buchanan with top billing. He and the song were the stars of this movie. But didn't these guys know what a rifle was...lol? And you never know when Lon Chaney, Jr. will show up in a movie.
I was a kid in the 1950's and I remember riding my Western Flyer bicycle to the local theater and watching Lon Chaney as the Werewolf and then as The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I think that he always gave a good performance, no matter what role he played.
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein...
Were rifles invented in those days ?
A good shotgun would have been a useful piece of kit, along with the sheriff's handgun.
"Of Mice and Men" ... Chaney should have gotten the Oscar
A shotgun would shred those bad guys.
I LOVE Marie Windsor.
Heart moving!
🤠🐴Thank you 🐴🤠 Good cast🥰Good old western movie🐴🤠
The saddle was best actor by a mile
The best part of this movie is when it says the end
This movie really makes you think. What are sheriff's go through.
Very Nice Movie! I enjoyed it☺️
A coward dies a thousand deaths a Hero just 1.
Excellent movie, thanks a lot.
Neither Karen, or the town, deserved the sheriff.
Good western!!
Edgar Buchanan by day DDS and by night western actor.
What is a DDS
@@charlesreid3482 DDS is a Doctor of Dental Surgery. Before he was an actor, and even in his early years as an actor, Buchanan was a dentist.
I REMEMBER LON CHANEY, JR FROM THE "LAST OF THE MOHICANS"SERIES.
Hawkeye and the last of the Mohicans
What a coward fellow was literally forced to be the Sherrif😂
MARIE WINDSOR, usually the treacherous fly in the ointment, plays an against type part here as the goody two shoes girlfriend of young sheriff Earle Lyon, who cannot shoot straight enough to hit an elephant. Good B Western despite minor flaws
She was great in The Narrow Margin and The Killing. Also played John Wayne's bitchy ex in Trouble Along the Way. The ultimate femme fatale/heap broad.
good ol western,luvedit
Silver star? Yellow star!!
The horse was by far the best actor. I'd say a D movie at best
Still better than the crap Hollywood puts out today!
Oh no its not its manages to be worse 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
well yep it horse stole the show, but there was a lantern in there that also gave a good performance.
at last, a comment on the same note as mine. Can't believe ppl liked this one...
You could not do as good!
In the opening scene we are witness to the horrible case of dandruff that the fellow has....yet he seems to be on track with the gal there.
Great yarn ❤❤❤❤
Good movie!
ps. Thanks to "The Sprocket Vault" for posting this film.
The climax to this movie is a little different in the director's cut...
The sheriff's girlfriend was willing to blow him off if he wasn't going to confront the bad guys. Of course, the sheriff prevails. With a big stupid grin on her face the sheriffs girlfriend runs up to him all happy and now willing to bear his children. But the sheriff realizes that she is a manipulative, gold digging nag whose love is conditional and he dropped kicks her into the next county... "No soup for you!"
She desired a righteous man… worth his”salt”…
I'd have paid to see that ending! Also I'd like to believe he gave the finger to that whole town and road off to find good people.
five star ending ……….you nailed it
You would have made a great director.
Wow great imagination you have 😂
fine movie
Were is John Wayne when you need him
If you think watching a bunch of guys drinking in a saloon is exciting or typical Western, then this is a GREAT movie!! Otherwise, it was a bunch of REALLY good character actors mostly wasted in a movie that lacks action, as well as dialogue!! On the other hand, it probably was smart to lurk around in shadows, & let the bad guys get so tanked, it'd be easier to take them out!!
I don't know if this should be filed under Westerm, or comedy. I did more laughing than feeling suspense. I think my favorite characters were the YOUNG Steve Rowland, the bartender, the sheriff's wife & the horse!! BTW, I have no idea of the ages of anyone at the time this movie was made, but the girlfriend looks old enough to be the young sheriff's MOTHER!! And, it's NOT like the dude campaigned for the job!! When she put him down for being honest (& realistic), he should have pinned the badge on her & ridden out of town!! 😊😊
Yellow bellies the whole township, says a lot about human behaviour!!!!!
The horse with the short tail looks stupid. Not sure about this one yet.I'm giveing it a shot.😂
Gracias...
The hired gun. 📽️ Vince Edwards. Not Found
That is so sad!
If he doesn't want to be sheriff why did he run for the job
Another twist of “High Noon”
Uncle joe moving slow, wolfman on choo choo after this movie the
No silver star
Coward of the town😂
41-1/2 minutes in, and they are trying to build up some dramatic tension with these two idiot "sheriffs".
I see that Morris Ankrum plays a character in this movie. What is this, a science fiction western?
I NEVER SAW A YOUNG SHERIFF IN A WESTERN MOVIE WITH SUCH BAD AIM. THE OLD MAN HAD BETTER AIM.
I've never seen hired gunmen with such bad aim either.
Thank you for the movies but that was the most boring cowboy film.
Unusual to see the horses tailed docked on a western show. It looks like they are groomed for show.
It's pretty slow, not going to win any academy awards.
Maybe you need a little more slow and Life.
I watch 2 and 3 westerns at the same time 6 days a week
starting at 3 am on 3 laptops.
I cant believe I saw this till the end.
I've seen B westerns better than this.
other Laptop is Frontier Scout
Lee Van Cleef
You crazy or lieing
@@eddiekulp1241 Crazy it is...
I have 3 laptops going with extra monitors
I have insomnia and spend most nights up
watching movies. I own 133 John Wayne
movies. I own almost every Star Trek .
In total I own over 6000 DVDs. But , I do love Westerns...
The actor playing the sheriff was just not convincing
Buchanan always great, Windsor wasted, terriblle song I rate it F
Παρακαλώ υπότιτλους στα ελληνικα ευχαριστώ πολύ
Way to slow, halfway and still no action.!! Randolph Scott by far the best.
Never liked high noon either
Seems good xcept the Law i cant figg the Sherrif Coward or Hero Never seen a western wit a "I dono look .mabe Sçared??! Wats the writer's Angle--- stay tuned its a mystery Movie😎🤗😅😌
i wouldnt marry that lady for all the tea in china. this is probably a lot more realistic than most westerns, where one guy shoots all the bad men !! he was correct. in that sort of town scenario, like most of the wild west probably was, it takes a lot more than one guy to keep the peace. which also means some women willing to sacrifice their lives.
WOLF MAN...................
Aside from Edgar Buchanan, most annoying movie I've ever watched.
In The Top Ten Worst Westerns EVER.
I've seen many western, this must be the worst sheriff ever.
This western is so slow i'm sure it started going backwards. 4/10
Pro Tip: Watch in in 2x speed 😎 (that was free)
Wow, since when does a Sheriff shoot a man for wearing his gun on his own property? This Sheriff would have been removed by the first judge to hear this case! Must be a democrat created film.
llone?stone?................................................
💪💪💪💪💪😜❤️❤️❤️
🤠👍🏿
It is a little similar to the movie High Noon.
Song is pathetic.
Strictly second rate. The sheriff is horrible. If I hear that song again, I'll snap.
i've been on the binge watch again for old westerns in the last few weeks. If I wasn't so hungover I would and should have stopped this one. One if not the, worst western movie I have watched. Slow, a boring story line, and a very anti climatic if not cowardly ending. 4/10.
Lousy
I have seen better film on a bar of soap
Banner ads and three sets of commercials by the 16 minute mark. I just quit watching. I can find something else to watch with less interruptions. Too bad, movie had some potential
Seen worse , when you saw Lippert , shoestring , I thought the sheriff was realistic , and his woman about this deal. And ya'll shure did get money's worth from that song ,heard worser also.
First impression: the Sheriff violated the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments. He had no warrant, no probable cause, and he attacked the rancher's right to bear arms. The rancher was under no obligation to even speak to him. Plus, he is the double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
After shooting a law abiding citizen he didn’t say anything to the bad guys because he didn’t want to start trouble.
Stop finding fault and enjoy the movie...smh
IRONIC THAT THERE ARE 3 TOWNS IN THE VERY SW CORNER OR MICHIGAN
ONE IS EDGAR , ONE IS BUCHANEN > AND THE VERY LAST ON IN THE CORNER-heh heh IS A GH0ST TOWN NAMED CALIFORNIA .
THERE IS NOTHING IN CALIFORNIA EXCEPT A STEAQM ENGINE WHEEL THAT KEEPS SCOOP[ING WATR OUT OF A SMALL POND .
HOPEFULL THS NEVER HAPPENS IN REALITY BECAUSE WE NEED CALIFORNIA , (THE STATE , NOT THAT TOWN IN MICHIGAN--ha ha .
Don't waste time watching this, very slow and a poor movie.....
What a terrible film, the acting of the leading man was awful, the script even worse. The adverts were more interesting than the film.😭
B western; one of the most amateurish movies I have ever seen.
Terrible movie very bad script
You can say that again.
I watch 2 and 3 westerns at the same time 6 days a week
starting at 3 am on 3 laptops.
I cant believe I saw this till the end.
I've seen B westerns better than this.

It's an "indie" and probably done on shares. Made as cheaply as possible.
A bit like watching a train wreck.. I couldn’t turn it off.. it tried hard, but missed the target by miles, like the sheriff… bad directing, music score, weak main character (sheriff) weak script wasted good support actors. Earle Lyon got no star quality. 1 ⭐️ out of 10.
🙋♂️🤝🍔🍟🎸🌭
I'd be curious how this one did in the box office.
She is so selfish. She makes me sick!!
A woke film of the 50's!!
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The editing was atrocious. From the opening with the old sheriff's legs switching from one side of the porch post to the other to the old sheriff pointing to the town right outside his house when it was apparent that he and his wife lived outside of town. The running gun battle where the old sheriff should have easily seen King moving down the middle of the street and sidewalk toward the new sheriff where he had a very clean shot at him. These are just a couple of examples of the dozens of editing mistakes. Just all around bad editing. I watched the whole thing trying to ignore the disaster of an editing job but I guess I just couldn't and so I had to vent here after wasting 1 hour and 13 minutes and 19 seconds of my life.
You left out them playing a song that diffused tension just when it was finally getting intense. Killed the flow of the movie.
Think that's bad? Try watching anything with Brad Pitt of Johnny Depp
Stop finding fault or don't watch
