Sierra Stranger

This kind of stuff is for western what fast food is for gourmets. This is a western not that crap but a movie that you'll rapidly forget after viewing. Howard Duff is totally bland, giving a wooden performance in a plot which you already know the whereabouts, the ending, everything. But it remains an acceptable time waster, and from Lee Sholem, the director, that's already a performance. A rare film too, so a good reason for western buffs not to miss it. This film maker Sholem was a real yes man but there was worst than him. He lacked more ambition than talent, but that doesn't mean he was a gifted director.
