A disappointing turn


The Lone Hand (1953)

Directed by George Sherman this film stars Joel McCrea, Barbara Hale and Alex Nicol. A widower and his son move to a new town and buy a farm.

Setting up something of an unusual moral dilemma the plot of the film unfortunately takes the easy way out at the end. There could have been something a bit different here but the big reveal takes out all the drama from the piece. Not bad for a b-movie western but nothing more than that.

2/5
