| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonWestbound feels slightly different from the other entries, probably due to the absence of producer Harry Joe Brown and screenwriter Burt Kennedy, but it still has some extraordinary passages. |
| User ReviewAshley HWestbound is an excellent film. It is about Captain John Hayes who goes to Colorado to take over the stagecoach line. Randolph Scott and Virginia Mayo give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Budd Boetticher did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the action and adventure. Westbound is a must see. |
