RIDING SHOTGUN 1954 (WARNER BROTHERS)

Randolph Scott is a stage coach guard who is framed so the people of a small town think he is responsible for the murders of several people. He holes up in a small cantina as the townfolk wont let him out.
The tension slowly builds to a great climax in this very well done western directed by Andre De Toth.
Wayne Morris is excelletn as the deputy Tub Murphy, who takes things very slow and logically. Lovely Joan Weldon is Scott's love interest, Joe Sawyer is a banker and Charles Bronson is a baddie out to kill Scott.
A great film that really moves even though it is limited to about two main sets one is outside on the street and the other is the cantina in which Scott is forced to hide. Good stuff.
