Ride Lonesome (DVD)

Ride Lonesome (1959) starring Randolph Scott, Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts, James Coburn, Lee Van Cleef. Bounty hunter Ben Brigade (Scott) is transporting a fugitive to face justice when they stop at a way station. There they are joined by an outlaw (Roberts) and the station master's wife (Steele). To reach Santa Cruz, they will have to avoid bloodthirsty Indians and the fugitive's vengeful brother Frank (Van Cleef). This movie is a fairly typical Western, but well-done. Nothing terribly surprising happens, but there is one minor reveal that provides the impetus for the plot. The subtitles are good, and closed captions are also available. Grade: B
