MASSACRE 1956 (VCI)

Very different western.

Dane Clark stars as a Mexican Federal who is leading his men in a search for stolen rifles he knows are being sold to the Yaqui Indians. They find the wife of the gun runner and a soldier named Ezparza, played by James Craig starts to fall in love with her.

Martha Roth is the woman in question and she tries to lie her way out of being held by the police. When they finally catch up to the gun runners, both parties find themselves fighting for their very survival against the savage Yaqui tribe.

The ending is a very downbeat one and did take me by surprise. If you like westerns, you might want to check this rare little film out.
