RIO CONCHOS 1964 (SHOUT FACTORY)

Very well made western.

Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman, Jim Brown, Tony Franciosa and gorgeous Wende Wagner are five people brought together while looking for a maniacal Confederate soldier who is selling repeater rifles to the Apaches.

This was the film debut of Jim Brown, who gave up his football career at it's peak to try acting and Wende Wagner before she became a regular on The Green Hornet. The acting is very good and the film looks great as the Moab, Utah locations are used to their fullest.

Director Gordon Douglas doea a great job, and no western fan should miss this action filled classic. Edmund O' Brien is the crazy confederate and his part is small but executed well, of course.

Shout Factory should be commended for making this film available in a beautiful widescreen edition. Recommended!!
