Movie Review: This is an enjoyable film that raises a moral question
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a cattleman-against-farmer western with two twists. The cattle owner sacrificed his life over an extended period to clear the land of outlaws. He feels that because of what he did all the land is his. He does not want the new-comer farmers to fence in their land, which will stop his cattle from grazing. He is determined to kill the lead farmer who says he will defend himself, even though he stands no chance of winning against the cattleman. But the first twist is that the cattleman is in love with the farmer's wife, and she with him.
The two stand to shoot it out in a bar, with the farmer having two other farmers standing with him against the cattleman who stands alone. The shootout is interrupted when a bandit with six band members enters the bar, stops the fight, and takes over the small town of twenty people with its four women. This is the second twist. The bandit leader is wounded with a bullet in his chest. He is an ex-military captain who has been able to control his men. He tells them to leave the women alone and drink no whiskey, but they want to drink whiskey and rape the women. What will happen next? Will the town find a way to save itself from the seven outlaws? How? Will the cattleman get the woman he loves? Will there be a shootout? Isn't the cattleman acting like the bandits?
Movie Review: Underrated Classic Western
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was never even released on VHS, this great western is finally being released by MGM with a few other westerns like MAN OF THE WEST, THE WESTERNER, NAVAJO JOE, but this one is easily the best of the bunch. This rare gem stars the great Robert Ryan and Burl Ives and is directed by the great Andre De Toth (Play Dirty)... also highly recommended.Movie Review: EXCELLENT CAST OF A WESTERN CLASSIC!
Summary: 4 Stars
A CLASSIC B/W WESTERN MADE WITH EXCELLENT STARS & CO-STARS, THE MAIN STAR OF THIS PICTURE, ROBERT RYAN, IS EXCELLENT: BUT I THINK THE ROLE WAS "STOLEN" BY CO-STAR BURL IVES! A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ONE THAT LOVES WESTERNS!!

Movie Review: Day of the Outlaw DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent Western with Robert Ryan in good form and a descent score. The enhanced 1.85:1 B&W picture is sharp and clear.
