RED SUNDOWN

(Universal-International) G Cert. EOPLE, places and situations we've seen before are handled by Jack Arnold with skill and economy in Red

Sundown, to make a good Western. The | villain is a greedy landgrabber with a | gunman in his pay, the hero a reformed gunfighter turned sheriff's temporary deputy. Specially effective is a call by the villain’s gunman on the settlers he is helping to dispossess. Here, and later ' as the action leads up to the final wellstaged gunfight with the hero, Grant Williams is a fine, cheerfully coldblooded killer. Rory Calhoun, a bloke I've got to like more than I used to, makes a good hero-a bit of an Alan | Ladd but with a little less of. that exasperating, grim-lipped air of doom. Others in the cast include Dean Jagger as the sheriff and Robert Middleton as the landgrabber; and, of course, there’s a pretty girl-in fact, there are two. In town or out the setting is attractive, and the camera takes in some poetic shots of the open country from which the hero emerges and to which he returns.
