Gunsight Ridge

In the final scene where McRae is talking to the girl you can see a car drive by in the background.

"Gunsight Ridge" is an adequate, likable B Western that finds its star, Joel McCrea, in fine form. For the most part, it's routine, but it does have some nice touches, especially in the way that it treats its villain, Velvet Clark (Mark Stevens).

Better than average western. Lots of studio lot actors that you always recognize but rarely know their names.

This one is pretty simple, if you like McCrea you will like the movie.

Joel McCrea is his usual stalwart self in this late 50s black-and-white Western. He finds a job as deputy in one of those dusty little Western towns with an old sheriff, whose daughter in pretty Joan Weldon, and a mean bandit on the loose, robbing people blind.

"Joel McCrae" -- almost all you need to say.But here he is surrounded by extraordinarily talented actors, all working well together in a much better than average script.

Joel McCrea stars in Gunsight Ridge as an undercover agent for Wells Fargo which has been getting regularly robbed on a certain stagecoach run through the territory of Addison Richard who is the sheriff. He's not getting the job done so McCrea's brought in.

The reviewer who praises the cinematography for this film makes a great point. This film is beautifully photographed.

Pretty fair Western. The script meanders some, but with characters coming in and out of the story line, it's not a conventional screenplay.

In this western starring Joel McRea, the star goes undercover along the Arizona border to investigate several nasty border ruffians. Mark Stevens co-stars and as always turns in a fine performance.
