(1959) Day Of The Outlaw.
WESTERN.
Made like an Anthony Mann Western even though it's story is adapted from a novel written by Lee E. Wells, it stars Robert Ryan as outlaw and rancher, Blaise Starrett feuding with some farming settlers regarding some wire and a former flame. Just when he's about to square things up with them, 7 wanted rustlers on the run, headed by ex cavalry captain, Jack Bruhn (Burl Ives) take the entire small town about 20 residents hostage since the US cavalry are coming after them for some stolen gold. Tensions run rather high when some of the rustlers are ordered to stay away from the liquor. All this amounts to is a satisfying conclusion.
3 out of 4 stars.
