I absolutely love Westerns, so being able to have so many to choose from is truly exciting! However, I could do w/o the the Spaghetti Westerns! They are absolutely horrible!

Another United Artists "B" Western of the 50's released on the "To Order" from MGM. It's good quality, clear B/W with good sound. Sadly it's by no means the best of this prolific period. Too many studio sets, a creaky plot, and not very inspired acting. However, if, like me, you are a fan of these obscurities you will probably have to get it, and will most likely enjoy it, as I did, most of the time. The good bits are Buster and Neville, with a well known Western support cast-Roy Barcroft,Walter Sande,James Seay, and unbilled Harry Lauter, Lane Bradford and William Tannen. The absolutely gorgeous Lita Milan is the most attractive "Squaw" I can remember, but, for me, Anne Robinson doesn't hit the spot, tho she tries hard. It's quite long (79') for this type of film, and in it's favour I wasn't bored. I just would have liked a bit more action. I also, once again, feel the need to grumble about the cost...Together with postage to the U/K it came to just under 30$!! and it's B/W 4.3 Ratio.But, I hear you say, "Nobody twisted your arm".! Add it to your collection. Chances are you won't regret it, but, from me, - Only 3 stars (5 for quality)

I have always loved this movie. I consider it a love story even though it had other meaning. Even though I am younger, I love Buster Grabbe. Sometimes he sounds like Ronald ReagonI

An unusual western that I had never seen before and a rare opportunity to see a more recent western film with Buster Crabbe in the lead role, if you can call 1956 recent! It was his first starring role in six years in this modest low budget western. Many will remember him as Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon from the thirties films, although Crabbe was no stranger to westerns having starred as Billy the Kid in a series of poor quality films in the early forties amongst others. Fast approaching his fifties when he made this film, he still had the physique of the Olympic swimmer he once was, even baring his naked torso briefly to show this. He also showed that over the years he had matured into a decent actor!

This one follows the old sibling rivalry theme with good brother versus bad brother who is not beyond redemption. The Cain and Abel allegory is made clear with some Biblical references in the film. Crabbe is the good brother trying to steer his bad brother away from a life of crime and the inevitable consequences. The film is tightly and intelligently scripted for a B western and the action comes thick and fast. The black and white film is surprisingly clear and well shot. There are a lot of studio shots but a few good outdoor scenes to add interest. The experienced B western director Sidney Salkow does a very decent job behind the camera. James Stewart’s polished western “Night Passage” made a couple of years later had a very similar plot that may have used some ideas from “Gun Brothers”.

The film has a decent support cast that goes beyond the normal B western call of duty. Neville Brand excels as the bad brother whose loyalty to kin still runs deep. Michael Ansara also stands out in the slippery villain role he played to such good effect later in “The Comancheros”. The ex stunt rider Ann Robinson is such a memorable leading lady that it left me sad to find out that her career was cut so short! Stalwarts Slim Pickens and Roy Barcroft pad out the supporting cast. This is a very enjoyable western that deserves its DVD release! Definitely one that the true western fan will enjoy!
