Forty similar films

Forty Guns (1958)

Written and directed by Samuel Fuller this western stars Barbara Stanwyck and Barry Sullivan. A US marshal passing through a town with his brothers clashes with owner of the big local ranch while trying to restore law and order.

The plot for this film is reminiscent of many a western of the same era and there is little originality here. Pretty much everything rolls out as you might expect and the direction is like the plot in being fairly unremarkable. In the end what you have here is a very average film that is probably worth overlooking for better efforts in the genre but still watch-able at a push.

3/5
