Yellow Sky

Yellow Sky (1948) starring Gregory Peck, Anne Baxter, Richard Widmark. In 1867, a gang of outlaws led by Peck turns up in a ghost town called Yellow Sky. Living in the town is a young women (Baxter) and her grandfather, who have a secret -- they have a gold mine up in the hills. The gang determine to steal the gold, and they fall out with each other over how to divvy up the booty. This is a serviceable Western, but a little too scattered to be first class. Its real assets are Peck and Baxter, who light up the screen with their chemistry. (Subtitles in English, as well as closed captions, are available on the disc.) Grade: B
