The cliches behind the unoriginality


The Man Behind the Gun (1953)

Directed by Felix Feist this Western stars Randolph Scott, Patrice Wymore and Dick Wesson. An undercover US army officer looks to break a conspiracy in Los Angeles.

There is little to praise in this film as it has a clunky script, the same characters as a lot of other westerns and very little original to offer. Rushing through the events of the plot to get everything done in the 82 minute run time does not help matters either. When it comes to the production quality of the film some of the sets are pretty good but the image quality is left wanting in a number of places.

1/5
