Three Young Texans (1954)

When his gambler father (Harvey Stephens) falls in with a gang of thieves who plot to rob a train, his son (Jeffrey Hunter) singlehandedly robs the train before the gang can rob it. He intends to return the money but before he can, his best friend (Keefe Brasselle) finds the money and takes it. Directed by Henry Levin (JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH), this western is a routine programmer that's amiable enough but with nothing out of the ordinary to recommend it. It's fast moving which is good but it has a rushed feeling to it as if wanted to get it over with in a hurry. The three young Texans (Mitzi Gaynor is the third one) of the title behave behave rather stupidly I thought and with each irrational action get deeper into trouble. Inoffensive and forgettable, the most notable thing about it is Gaynor's anachronistic Italian bob cut. Tres chic but so out of place. With Michael Ansara, Morris Ankrum and Aaron Spelling.
