A B-Western I saw comes to mind. Colt .45. The promise of the film was whoever had these “state of the art weapons would be the most powerful. It starred Randolph Scott and Lloyd Bridges. It’s laughable now. A six-shooter as the most powerful weapon. It course the bad guy steals the weapon as wrecks havoc.

Watching these oaters now after not seeing them for decades really shows them in a new light. The one thing that really leaps out at me….just how good the acting could be,even in a B Movie. The dialogue is bit chunky but a lot of it is still better then today’s cowpoo…..doing this review was a lot of fun.

Great post 🙂 Interesting to see you reviewing an early Don Siegel film 🙂 His most famous famous later films include 1971’s Dirty Harry and 1973’s Charley Varrick to name just two examples 🙂 Anyway, keep up the great work as always 🙂

It was a lot of fun and it been a long time since I had done a older film. And a western seemed a perfect film to watch.

Interesting post, Michael. I’m a Don Siegel fan. It’s always intriguing to find early work from famous directors. How did they do without a big star, and big bucks? Don Siegel always took a grittier approach to filmmaking in my opinion. He didn’t rely on stylism, lots of choreographed action scenes and explosions, but he did interject politics–quite effectively, I might add–into his movies.

I really liked “Duel”,I thought it made for a solid character study and Siegal pulled it off quite well. The pacing was brisk and the villains were quite nasty for the times. It was a shame to see how Audie Murphy ended up before his early passing. He was quite a screen presence and a lot of fun to watch. I had a lot of fun watching this one.
