THREE DESPARATE MEN 1951 (VCI)

Very well made Lippert western.

Sam Newfield directed this film starring Preston Foster, Jim Davis and Ross Latimer as three brothers who are set up on false charges after two of them rescue the third from a necktie party.

They find themselves being hunted by a former friend as they spiral deeper and deeper into a life of crime. All three leads are very good in their roles and this is one of the best Lippert westerns I have ever seen.

It has a tight story, lots of action and some very tragic circumstances for a pair of lovers. Virginia Grey, Sid Melton and Monte Blue round out the excellent cast in this above average B western.
