Too proud for hides and glue

Cow Country (1953)

Directed by Lesley Selander this film stars Edmond O'Brien, Helen Westcott, Robert Lowery and Peggie Castle. With a crash in meat prices someone is trying to put the cattle men in a Texas valley out of business to get all their land on the cheap.

Plodding through a fairly dry plot this film makes it's intentions clear in the first 15 minutes and shakes out as you would expect. I suppose there is nothing massively wrong with the script but it is all to familiar and just goes through the paces. None of the acting or direction stands out and the required fight scenes are fairly weak.


2/5
