GUN BELT 1953 (SHOUT FACTORY)

Good western with George Montgomery.

Montgomery stars as Bill Ringo, a reformed gunfighter whose brother escapes from jail and tries to get him in on a big job, but Bill refuses.

John Dehner plays Matt Ringo, the escaped con who tires to convince his brother to help hm steal a large amount of cash being transported by Wells Fargo. After a few initial attempts to change his mind fails the brother uses other, more vile methods including blackmail.

Dehner plays the role well and his cohorts are Jack Elam and Douglas Kennedy, both of whom are very good in the villain roles. Helen Westcott is Arlene Reach, the young woman that Montgomery loves and Tab Hunter is Chip Ringo, the son of Dehner who gets himself in a lot of trouble by trying to be a man way too early.

Not bad as far as westerns go and the color photography is wonderful. This is included on a set called Movies 4 You: Western Classics which also includes "The Lone Gun", "Ride Out For Revenge" and "Gunsight Ridge".
