SHOWDOWN AT BOOT HILL ( 1957)

[uncknown]

This looked like a lost gem: Charles Bronson starring in a black and white Cinemascope Western early in his career!
It starts out quite good with well staged action and a HIGH NOON style drama (I.e. cowardly townsfolk turn against lawman).
But, it soon turns into a predictable melodrama with a predictable climax
Low budget production doesn't help matters.

 Worth a look.
Bluray on Olive Films.

5/10

This should be added to the American Westerns index
