"Convict Stage" turned out to be a rather good little "B' western released by 20th Century Fox along with "Fort Courageous" the same year. It features no big names but does have a couple of western regulars in the leading roles.
*** This review may contain spoilers *** *Plot analyzed* Convict Stage is from 1965 but it looks like it is from 1955. Two violent bandit brothers rob a stage and kill everyone, including a woman.
Some time ago, stage-coach-robbing brothers Joe Partridge and Eric Matthews killed Harry Lauter's sister. He has been chasing them since.
"Convict Stage" qualifies as a predictable, saddle-sore, law and order sagebrusher about a revenge-driven pistolero who wants to kill the two outlaws who murdered his sister. Basically, nothing new or exciting occurs in this title-tells-all oater.
This was another low budget western film that 20th Century made in the early and mid 60's to be shown as a double feature mostly at drive-in theaters. And yes, there are a few rough spots in this movie but overall it was not as bad as expected for a 'B' western.
