SHOWDOWN AT BOOT HILL 1958 (OLIVE)

Obscure western on a terrific Blu-Ray release.

Charles Bronson stars as a bounty hunter/Sheriff who kills an outlaw in a small town that loved him.

He meets nothing but attempted murder and many other problems including his being unable to collect his bounty on the man. This is a very well crafted western with a great supporting cast including John Carradine, Robert Hutton, Carole Matthews and Thomas B. Henry.

I saw this many years ago and fell in love with the story and was a bit surprised when Olive decided to release this on a Blu-ray, but I am very pleased that they did. Westerns of the 50's were a different breed indeed and I cannot recommend this enough if you like westerns.

Bronson turns in a top notch performance as a man only doing his job who is turned upon by everyone in town. Get this movie and see if it doesn't grab you.
