Not much of a tribute

 

Tribute to a Bad Man (1956)


Directed by Robert Wise this film stars James Cagney, Don Dubbins, Stephen McNally and Irene Papas. A young man takes a job as a horse wrangler for a rancher who thinks he is the law of the land.


As westerns go this is a pretty familiar one, it doesn't hit the heights of Shane (1953) which is also from the same writer. If you are a genre fan this is decent enough, otherwise it is a bit bland. There is also not much depth to the message behind the film.


3/5
