The Storm Rider

One excellent lead role for Scott Brady who, for once, doesn't play the local villain. Why not Leo Gordon in such a role? This is a pretty good little western, made by a B director Edward Bernds, whose western was not his speciality, unlike Lesley Selander or Ray Nazarro for instance. The topic is not that unusual, on the contrary, but good to watch because of the quality of acting. I definitely prefer SHANE, in the same scheme, and watching this movie in pan and scan instead of the genuine letterbox 2.35 doesn't help much to appreciate the feature. I think that's one of the best role of Lawrence Tierney's brother who, in a major production, would have played the hired killer, not the "good" stranger.
