The Purple Hills (1961)

Two bounty hunters (Gene Nelson, Kent Taylor) fight over who actually killed a wanted man (Jack Carr). They travel to the grave together along with the marshal (Russ Bender), the dead man's younger brother (Jerry Summers) and the brother's guardian (Joanna Barnes). Directed by Maury Dexter (THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH). An undemanding B western programmer that doesn't wear out its brief running time (barely over an hour). Filmed in Arizona, the outcome isn't obvious so the narrative holds our attention. I'm a fan of westerns so perhaps I'm more tolerant of a simple western like this. Not memorable at all but a genial time waster. With Danny Zapien and Medford Salway.
