Review of Three Hours to Kill (1954) by Kevin R — 26 Aug 2015

I never dropped a drink in my life.

Jim Guthrie is caught at the wrong place at the wrong time with the smoking gun of a crime he did not commit. He escapes the hanging and hides out for three years. He eventually returns to the town to hunt down the man truly responsible for the murder.

"We're two of a kind...a pair of idiots.".

Alfred Werker, director of At Gunpoint, He Walked by Night, Shock, The Reluctant Dragon, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and The Last Posse, delivers Three Hours to Kill. The storyline for this picture was just okay but came together well. The acting was solid but not epic and the cast includes Dana Andrews, Donna Reed, Carolyn Jones, and Whit Bissell.

"Is there anything you believe in?".

"Yeah. Living.".

This was recommended to me by Verizon Fios so I DVR'd it off Encore Western. This was above average and I enjoyed watching the plot and conclusion unfold. There were a couple good shootouts. This is an entertaining western that is worth a viewing but not a must see.

"You married him because you needed him.".

Grade: C+.
