Not even bronze

Silver Lode (1954)

Directed by Allan Dwan this film stars John Payne, Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea. US Marshals ride into town and accuse a man of being a wanted murderer on his wedding day.

Covering the same ground as High Noon (1952) this film comes off as weaker in pretty much every regard. There are some decent moments of jeopardy but really this is a second rate anti-McCarthyism film. The cast is barely memorable for Stuart Whitman appearing in an early supporting role but otherwise is full of nobodies that fail to impress.


2/5
