Low stock

The Nebraskan (1953)

Directed by Fred F. Sears this film stars Philip Care, Roberta Hayes, Wallace Ford and Lee Van Cleef. Two prisoners escape from a Cavalry outpost, one of which is wanted for the murder of a local Indian chief.

This is a fairly average B-movie western that fits in most of the usual story elements leaving no real surprises. Slightly unusually the Indians are treated fairly well here, they have a legitimate motivation and get actual characters. Where the film really falls down is in the cheap use of stock footage that looks low quality and nothing like Nebraska where the story is set.


2/5
