(1951) Along The Great Divide.
WESTERN.
Conventional plot has actor Kirk Douglas as a federal Marshall Merrick preventing a scape goated lynch mob hanging (Walter Brennan) to be intentioned to be brought to a fair trail back to town with the original lynchers on their tail at the same time! Much of this film showcases the Kirk Douglas character's straight up determination and it's complicated dilemas!
Although, viewers could possibly figure out about who shot or murder whom before the Kirk Douglas character does, and with some spectacular gorgeous black and white desert landscapes, the storyline was delving into familiar territory, viewers seen before and done alot better such as "The Comancheroes", "Four Faces West" and "Ride Lonesome" to name a few!
2 out of 4.
