CITY OF BAD MEN 1953 (FOX)

Top notch western from 20th Century Fox.

Dale Robertson stars as Brett Stanton who has spent the last six years in Mexico and is broke and looking to make a quick buck.

He and his gang arrive in Carson City, Nevada which is packed with people who have come from all corners of the country to witness the Boxing World Heaveyweight Championship fight.

Stanton figures that he and his gang should be able to get away with over $100,000. Things don't quite go as planned when he meets up with an old flame named Linda Culligan (Jeanne Crain).

This movie moves at a great pace and there are so many wonderful character actors in this movie it makes one start trying to spot as many as possible.

The color is rich and deep and director Harmon Jones makes everything come to life in a perfect way. The rest of the cast for this most enjoyable film includes Lloyd Bridges, Richard Boone, Leo Gordon, Carole Matthews, Carl Betz, Hugh Sanders, Mary Bayless, James Best, Tris Coffin, Richard Cutting, King Donovan, Frank Farnum, Frank Ferguson, Barbara Fuller and many more.

If you're a westerns fan you will have to check this out. It has everything...action, romance, gunfights, plot twists and a great ending.
