The Saga Of Hemp Brown (1958)

A U.S. cavalry officer (Rory Calhoun) is court martialed after the party he is bringing to the fort is ambushed and people are killed and a payroll is stolen. This sets him on a path of revenge as he seeks out the man (John Larch) who lead the gang who attacked and stole the money. Directed by actor turned director Richard Carlson (CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON). A standard western enhanced somewhat by its handsome CinemaScope lensing courtesy of Philip H. Lathrop (THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY). There's not much can say about a movie like this. Certainly not something to seek out but good enough to hold your attention. But I'm a big fan of westerns so I might be more tolerant than others. It's not the kind of movie where the acting matters much but the cast does well enough. With Beverly Garland, Russell Johnson, Fortunio Bonanova and Yvette Vickers.
