Totally true: an underrated gem of a movie indeed! I love it. What a great debut for Milland as a director. I own this on Blu-ray and will watch it many times.
This is a great western. Dark action, nobody is perfect, beautiful woman falls for a good man who had a hard life. Oh and the bad guys were polished and sneaky but got it in the end. Crime didn’t pay…except for the sherif who changed his ways…we hope.
Yeah, and in reality, they are usually 18, 19, 20, 21 years young, or younger. At that time, women did not work out like they do today. So, by the time most women have a child they start to look like hell.
There was a time when I googled all the gorgeous women guest stars on Gun Smoke, Bonanza, etc and most were teenagers with perfect faces, flat tummies, perfect skin....
A year later, WARD BOND would perform his greatest role in THE SEARCHERS. Mary Murphy used masterful facial expressions in this Western, & is quite lovely, to boot ! 🤠
Well worth watching. Yes, it has most of the western cliches but it also has fine acting and some twists that you have probably never seen before. Overall, it deserves a rating of at least 7.5 or maybe even an 8. You won’t feel you waisted your time by enjoying this movie. The music and cinematography were also better than the usual fare.
Every one of these movies has the walking in the desert man, or men, throwing away their csnteens when empty. They are never kept to be refilled if and when possible. They do the same with hats they lose for what ever reason, especially when also in head roasting desert conditions.

Then along came food manufacturing pumping carbs and poison into all the food and POP! GOES THE WEASEL! EVERYONE now has a fatty liver with tons of spillover! Thank you Nestles and Dupont and all you all.
Lee van Cleef, Decorated Marine in WWII.Many of these great character actors were in the Marine Corp. Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Audie Murphy, most decorated soldier of WWII. Bad dudes playing themselves, love all of them, grew up watching them. Thank you for your service Gentleman!
I watch a bunch of medical videos and can't be bothered with so many commercials so I pay Google the 10 smackers to be commercial-free. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, but thanks to your comment I think I will quit thinking about it. Thank you! 🤜🤛
The only cactus that you can safely drink water from is the fishhook barrel cactus, but you should only use it as a water source in an emergency situation.
It's surprising that Raymond Burr had a relationship for 35 years with his partner, Robert Benevides. One of the best kept secrets in Hollywood but he was still a great actor, especially in Perry Mason and of course, Ironside.
Sorry. Having Ray Milland trying to portray a rough, tough cowboy is like having Stan Laurel (of Laurel and Hardy) trying to portray John Wayne. Wrong person. Period. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
The most watched movie of its time? I strongly doubt that! It came out the same year as "Mr. Roberts," "Guys and Dolls," "Oklahoma!," and "Magnificent Obsession." It's a conventional and watchable film, but it deserves being otherwise obscure and neglected. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
A Man Alone 1955. Stranded in the desert, gunfighter Wes Steele (Ray Milland) comes across the gory aftermath of a stagecoach robbery in which all the victims were murdered in cold blood. Taking one of the stagecoach's horses to ride into the next town, Steele finds himself accused of the robbery by the hotheaded sheriff's deputy (Alan Hale) while the sheriff (Ward Bond) is ill with yellow fever. With the help of the sheriff's daughter (Mary Murphy), Steele fights to clear his name.
The man first killed his innocent horse that carried him for hundreds of miles and then killed a rattle snake in the desert in its natural habitat and what sort of a name Mary is for a man anyway? But wait he is a kind man too and he fed a hungry cat and her kittens. Anyway to say something positive it’s a good movie even though the plot is very simple. I can’t believe it’s the most watched movie in that time.
I'm sorry, after seeing 15 minutes of this slop i had to change it. There is nothing like watching. Spaghetti westerns. But i do say one thing, its better then any garbage now a days.
He saws the reins to roll the horse. It sustains a profusely bleeding wound in soft sand. He leaves his rifle behind. He leaves his canteen behind, so he has nothing to carry water if he finds some. He sits on the ground with his elbow within inches of a cactus, not even on the shady side. He cuts a piece of cactus from the main trunk, instead of a nearby arm and eats it, a bad idea for thirst! He wastes a bullet on a snake he could easily skirt. He chases all the horses away instead of leading them to the nearest town. He's totally oblivious to the approach of a gun with a gun drawn when he arrives in town. I can't watch any more.
Ray Milland looked older than Ward Bond to me. I'd rather seeing Burt Lancaster play his part. But it is a pretty good western. Ray just looks too soft to be playing a part like this. Just one man's opinion.
Ray Milland, Raymond Burr, Lee Van Cliff, Ward Bond, and Mary Murphy. A lot of good actors.
Entertaining.
Because they are great Actors.
I Was born in 1954…… miss this one big time!
An underrated gem of a movie! Keeps your interest right to The End! Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!
Even though everybody knew from the moment they met how it is going to finish...?😉

Mentality of the mobs. Honesty right and wrong most of all good above all evils win. Lots to learn from this classic old western film. Thank you.
Good western with a great cast. Excellent video and audio quality.
It's been many years since I first saw it.
Thank you for posting, much appreciated.

Much better than the current flicks produced.
Oh, nice ending. Could not been done better. High moral codes in a nice story. Not boring at all. Love it.
They don't make westerns like this any more, was a great movie
They sure put some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in these old westerns.
Yeah, and in reality, they are usually 18, 19, 20, 21 years young, or younger. At that time, women did not work out like they do today.

Mary Murphy ....wow stunningly beautiful..
I've seen this movie before very good show. We'll wort watching.
Awesome movie. Thanks for sharing.
Its just like Tony the Tiger said: GGGGGRReat!!!
Thanks for a great old movie id never seen!
A year later, WARD BOND would perform his greatest role in THE SEARCHERS. Mary Murphy used masterful facial expressions in this Western, & is quite lovely, to boot ! 🤠
Boy, you be careful with that knife!
Ward Bond -The Searchers
I liked him in Sargent York too
@@eddiewolf_ 👍
I have seen better acting on a Maypo commercial.
@@dennispine2603 Mr. Milland doesn`t belong on a western saddle, as Gary Cooper should have never climbed down from one.....
One of the best weserns ever!
worth a watch ray millard at his best
Who ?
You might leave your saddle but you wouldn't leave your rifle.
👀😳
You take your rifle canteen bed roll and tobacco! Unless your planning on dying!
Nice movie! 1955 to HD! Thanks for uploading Glad to subscribe.
Good post. Miss all those western actors. Love them nice all around 😍🥰
Best action movie and nice ending too.

And they always shoot the horse
I am always thinking the same thing.
A little drama's good for the movie.
And never collect the dead man’s guns.
this episode, with all the huges, and reminiscing. 😢❤😊
A great movie I want to see again and again.
The town that became famous for the cleanest shavenist cowboys west of the Mississippi.
What a great movie
such an amazing film. Justice was done and love won
. . Very decent, goodness, honesty . . 'Priceless' - to witness it.
Good old times actor
A great Western it had a great casr plOt and story very enjoyable thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First movie I remember seeing. I was 9.
Great movie 🍿
Great movie 😊I love it
What a movie . Thank you.
Great movie, thanks

Didn't have Randolph Scott, but enjoyed if immensely.
I loved Randolph Scott!!!
He was one of the bodies in the stagecoach scene
No one leaves his rifle in the desert😮

Nice one
ซาบซึ้งกับหนังชมชอบครับผม
This movie is 9/10. Realistic.
Awesome 👌
The good cowboy and the bad cowboy I always like the good guy in these films
Lee Van Cliff.. great actor..
CLEEF
@@marco-dn7kd I'm glad someone else knew this, many others didn't! Doesn't due him justice if you don't get his name right. Great actor...
Lee van Cleef, Decorated Marine in WWII.Many of these great character actors were in the Marine Corp. Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Audie Murphy, most decorated soldier of WWII. Bad dudes playing themselves, love all of them, grew up watching them. Thank you for your service Gentleman!
Van Cleef in an extra's role. Probably long before he got fame!
Nice, real nice.
Good movie. Thanks.
Gentlemen Jim is Ward Bonds best roll.
Good movie. However, it is criminal how many commercials TH-cam places on a 70 year old film.
I watch a bunch of medical videos and can't be bothered with so many commercials so I pay Google the 10 smackers to be commercial-free. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, but thanks to your comment I think I will quit thinking about it. Thank you! 🤜🤛
Better than "The searchers "
The only cactus that you can safely drink water from is the fishhook barrel cactus, but you should only use it as a water source in an emergency situation.
It was odd it didn't have spines on it either...
I always thought ward bonds best acting role was the prist in the quiat man
When he shot the snake I thought he will eat it. He just shot a thing that was not threat to him.
#Awesome 👌 with Van Cleff as the bad guy.
Great movie
Don’t throw away empty canteens, you might need it in the future
Even at night the hero of the movie is dressed like in a day hat, boots, gun etc....

whos Ray Burr?
@@beatrixatthecchwclub5620 One of the actors in the movie
A wonderful morality tale about the sort of things the USA used to stand for.
great
That’s funny, contact paper on the windows to make the pattern. Otherwise, enjoyable movie.
A Real page turner
the man alone sure is clumsy. constantly knocking things over, kicking things :)
Ray Milland was 48 years old, and Mary Murphy was 24 years old.
24yrs her senior.
yes, its quite noticeable
We all knew Angel Eyes was a ruthless killer.
Milland 😊

Exactly 🎉
Ward Bond, first wagon train trail boss.
At 7:53, you can see the dead stagecoach driver breathing. But, hey, still a good movie so far (made the year I was born!).
He was not fully dead yet...!
@@marco-dn7kd I suppose that explains it. Harsh though, to just leave him there like that!
I see it, TY
55 great year for us and the Chevy.
Lee van Cleff the best !!!👍👍👍
You like me to watch Arbic mr Mas Mas!❤️💪🇮🇱🙏🕊️

I wonder why, in many of the video titles, the uploader writes, the most watched film. ????

Where the Rifle as if you would leave the Rifle 😊

Cowboy style

I thought it was a silent movie for the first 10 minutes
Okay Ray Miland is the director
Ward Bond gives good face drama
Mob wants to hang a man before trial
Sound familiar
I'm sorry, after seeing 15 minutes of this slop i had to change it. There is nothing like watching. Spaghetti westerns. But i do say one thing, its better then any garbage now a days.
Notice you’re the only one saying anything negative 😂
Areal
He must of forgot his rifle after shooting the horse !
Did I hear "Waltzing Matilda?
Why he don't take his Rifle?
1 minute in and already shoot a horse? Sad
Ray Milland must have hit rock bottom!
Pathetic
Guy gets into town and the Sheriff walks up pulls out his gun and shoots at a stranger, then the rest of them chase him to kill him
The character played by Milland loses my sympathy from the very start. That's no way to ride a horse.
That was a stuntman
@@bobgarrett2601 I said the character, not Ray Milland who performs credibly off the saddle.
Besides you and I, not many people would notice the difference,
Ray Milland as a gunfighter? Ludicrous.
The main character is very much like president Trump.
The most watched movie of its time????

Suspension of disbelief is sorely tried in this one.
Ray Milland looked older than Ward Bond to me. I'd rather seeing Burt Lancaster play his part. But it is a pretty good western. Ray just looks too soft to be playing a part like this. Just one man's opinion.
