GUNSIGHT RIDGE 1957 (SHOUT FACTORY)

Excellent western.

Joel McCrea stars as a Stage Line Agent named Mike Ryan who investigates a series of robberies in Arizona. The criminal behind all of the robberies is named Velvet Clark and is played very well by Mark Stevens.

Clark hides behind his respectable persona as a piano playing, easy going, but sometimes hot tempered man. The plot is full of twists and turns with McCrea coming very close several times to catching the criminal but always losing him.

Lovely Joan Weldon is the Sheriff's daughter and she really doesn't have a lot to do, but she does make a very sexy presence even in the old west setting. The climax is very satisfying and this movie as a whole should please any western film fan or McCrea fan in general.

Shout Factory did a great job with this and it is included in the Movies 4 You: Classic Westerns along with "Gun Belt", "Lone Gun" and "Ride Out For Revenge". Another set is due out later this year.
