Started with a stage coach being hijacked by Mexicans bandits. One sits holding a gun on two prosperous-looking passengers.
The stagecoach, with Mexicans on horseback firing guns into the air, rides to a ranch. Turns out it was all a practical joke! Good thing they picked the right stage coach. The two men inside were Randolph Scott's brother and nephew.
“Welcome to Arizona!”
I understand that people back then weren’t as intelligent as they are now, but why do they do things like this in westerns?
An impoverished young Latina girl had been taken in by rich guy Richard Boone. Now she has blossomed and he’s in love with her.
“Your jealousy is like a craziness!” she says.
She escapes to Randolph Scott’s ranch. Now Richard Boone is targeting Randolph Scott’s operation.
Scott was rather stiff playing a paragon of the Old West. The town looked like a hell hole which, realistically, it would be. I wouldn’t want to live in Arizona now--imagine having to be there in the 1800’s, although it was pre-climate change.
80 minutes, in Technicolor. I saw it free on Moveland Tv.
