COLE YOUNGER, GUNFIGHTER 1958 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

Another well made 50's western.

Frank Lovejoy stars as gunman Cole Younger who befriends a young man on the run from a murder charge. The young man is played by James Best.

Abby Dalton is lovely as always and she is the love interest of Best and his former friend now turned Government informant Frank Wittrock played wonderfully by Jan Merlin. It is he who has committed the murder which Best is blamed for.

Ainslie Pryor is the totally evil Captain Follyard and turns in an unforgettable performance. Sadly, in real life he died within two months of the release of this film from cancer.

I would recommend this western to and fan of the genre and the print from Warner Archive is very, very good. The rest of the cast includes Douglas Spencer, Frank Ferguson, Myron Healey and John Mitchum.
