| User ReviewBill TFun movie! Randolph Scott has REALLY grown on me over the years. I really do like his cool as a cucumber western persona. His character is great here. Hard to keep up with who's zooming who here, and everyone in town keeps changing their mind about guilty parties! lol |
| User ReviewPaul DRandolph Scott is selling a new fangled gun than can shoot more than once, the titular Colt .45. When a pair of his sample guns are stolen by an outlaw, this leads to a crime spree that Scott sets out to stop. Lots of action an double crosses ensue. Lloyd Bridges has a supporting role as one of the caddis and Alan Hale has a rare role as a villain. Overall, it's a pretty standard oater, but there's enough action and western stars to make it entertaining and worth checking out for western fans. |
| User ReviewJoseph CJust about every cliche imaginable shows up in this film, especially in their treatment of native Americans. War dances, drum-beating, war paint, horrible dialogue, "him no talk," and a native language that doesn't sound like any known dialect. Overacting by just about everyone except Scott turns this into a parody of western movies, but not the kind I wanted to watch. |
