Leave your thoughts about Silver Lode.
| New YorkerRichard BrodyIn its understated lucidity, this 1954 Western, directed by Allan Dwan, is one of the greatest. |
| User ReviewAdrian BSilver Lode is a terrific western that is highly underrated. Quite interesting that this film and "Johnny Guitar," to very fine westerns, were completely blown off upon released in 1954, the latter of the two in particular. Though "Johnny Guitar" has gained a bigger following, "Silver Lode" has been left virtually in the dust. At least it was discovered by 1001 Movies Guide. This is very intriguing western shot in glorious technicolour, which follows the John Payne's character who has been accused by incoming marshal, or perhaps crook played by Dan Duryea, of murder and larceny. The story unravels out in which most of the town, except is bride-to-be (Lizabeth Scott) and local showgirl (Dolores Moran, who was a prominent character the Howard Hawk's masterpiece "To Have and Have Not"), lose support for John Payne's character. It is a fabulous film, that should be acknowledged by others. I highly recommend. |
| User ReviewAdam CThis is one of those B films that you find every once in awhile that deserves to be found. This is a good genre film but really excels with some terrific suspense. It's is also a brave film because it is an open parable about the days of McCarthyism, which makes it even more interesting. I just seem to really like westerns like this one. Lean, tense and filled with moral dilemmas. |
| User ReviewScott RServiceable Western dealing with issues of veracity in one's claims. The acting is a little stiff, and the film takes a while to get rolling, but it's worth a look in the end. |
| User ReviewShannon MVery moving for a western, and a RKO "B" western at that. John Payne is quite watchable, though it seems he tried to channel a bit of Cary Grant AND Jimmy Stewart. If you look closely you'll catch a glimpse or two of the future "skipper" Alan Hale Jr. |
