Featured review
Scottie keeps you guessing!
Randolph Scott as a man on the lam? When he first crosses paths with jailbird Forrest Tucker, he's dressed as a dandy and insists he's lost in the hills. He's just looking for directions, but Forrest pulls a gun on him and orders him to switch outfits and participate in a bank robbery. Scottie McScottie Pants informs his new travelling companion that he's actually a wanted man himself and wants to team up. Forrest is hiding a heap of stolen gold, and he's reluctant to trust anyone. But with sheriff Charles Kemper, two hitman brothers Frank Faylen and Jeff Corey, and money-hungry George Macready on his trail, Scottie might be his best bet.
Along the way, Scottie finds romance with George's daughter, Dorothy Malone. She's still in her brunette phase, and much more down to earth than her later blonde one. She runs a ranch up in the hills that specifically nurses injured horses back to health. She doesn't give up on lost causes, and that includes Scottie!
Scottie and Forrest will keep you guessing the whole movie, as to whether or not they're going to double cross each other. While it's not the greatest western ever made, it's definitely entertaining. George has an interesting character, Scottie is fantastic and shrouded in mystery, and even though Forrest is an antihero, you can't help but hope he gets away. If you want to just relax and pop in a western without delving into something as dramatic as The Big Country, you've found your film.
