BULLWHIP 1958 (TUBI)

I really enjoyed this sleek western.

I have read a lot of bad reviews for this movie, but I thought it was great. Guy Madison stars as Steve Daley, a man convicted of muder and is soon going to be hanged.

He is given a very unusual offer. If he marries a beautiful woman named Cheyenne O' Malley (Rhonda Fleming) and then immediately leave town he will be given a full pardon.

He agrees. Cheyenne runs a wagon train and continues on her way, but soon Steve finds her and the sparks begin to fly. I do admit that the plot is somewhat confusing when we find that Cheyenne is also an Indian princess, but we are not told how or why.

I found that it really didn't matter because the movie really sucked me in and I just enjoyed the hell out of it. Rhonda Fleming was one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the silver screen and I will watch her in anything.

The color photography is a knockout and the direction is good. If you like mindless westerns that you can just flow with, I suggest you check this out.

The rest of the cast includes the wonderful James Griffith, Don Beddoe, Peter Adams, Dan Sheridan and Burt Nelson.

I didn't give too much away here as I don't want to spoil it for people who might want to watch.
