Review of A Bullet Is Waiting (1954) by Jay N — 06 Aug 2011
Not a western but an entertaining if improbable drama set in an isolated area in the west. Jean Simmons is full of guarded, wounded vunerability, a very fine actress. She and Rory Calhoun make a surprisingly simpatico pairing.
Stephen McNally's character is rather one note, a more distinctive actor could have perhaps fleshed it out but it doesn't hurt the film. Makes some observations about a man's true nature even if he has committed a criminal act.
Not a classic but a solid film.
