1957 - DECISION AT SUNDOWN, Randolph Scott rides yet again
The second film in the Boetticher/Scott western series. Randolph Scott is a cowboy on a mission of vengeance to kill the man who drove his wife to suicide etc.
The best of the Budd Boetticher westerns were shot on location, Decision at Sundown is strictly a filmed on the back lot thing with Scott trapped in a livery stable for a good piece of film. For a western this looks pretty claustrophobic.
The cast is mostly a collection of "B" movie or character actors. They look about as creaky as the plot. The dialog is from the school of western cliches.
Disappointing.
77 minutes.
