Movie Reviews of Stranger On Horseback

Movie Review: Classic Louie Lamour Story
Summary: 3 Stars

Admittedly, I am not a Joel McCrea fan by any means. I do snap up any films based on stories from Louie Lamour and this film was classic Lamour. Joel McCrea did a good job with his character and that says a lot when you consider that I have never been a fan of this particular actor. John Carradine was fantastic as always and much younger in this film.

The quality of this DVD was poor. The original film negative was lost at some point in time and this DVD was produced off a copy of a film that survived. Dispite being "remastered" there are fluctuations in color and film quality from scene to scene with a heavy emphasis on the red hues which I found to be distracting.

Summary of Stranger On Horseback

Joel McCrea brings law and order to the range in Stranger on Horseback . McCrea portrays a circuit judge Richard Thorne, who comes to a small western town in the course of making his rounds. There he finds the town and surrounding area under the feudal thumb of an oldline family headed by Josiah Bannerman (John McIntire). Despite wholehearted opposition and obstacles, Thorne fingers Bannerman s spoiled son, Tom (Kevin McCarthy) for murder and smokes out the necessary frightened witnesses and defies the whole clan by seeing that justice is done. In doing so he even wins the grudging respect of the old cattle baron, gains the love of the latter s strong-willed niece, Amy (Miroslava Stern), and awakens the sheriff (Emile Meyer) to a new sense of duty. Bonus Features: Scene Selection, Trailers, Radio Hour: Radio Shows: Tales of Texas Rangers, Audio biographies by Joel Blumberg, Original Theatrical Trailer, Adlets: Lonesome Trail DF, Tall Texan, Western Noir DF, Great Jesse James Raid & Other Legendary Outlaws Product Specs: DVD9; Dolby Digital; 66 minutes; Color; 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA NR; Year 1955; SRP - $14.99
