Ride Lonesome **** (1959, Randolph Scott, Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts, James Coburn, Lee Van Cleef, James Best) – Classic Movie Review 6434
Randolph Scott stars as Ben Brigade, a vengeful lawman who captures a wanted murderous young gunman, Billy John (James Best), to trap the gunman’s brother Frank (Lee Van Cleef), the killer of Scott’s wife.
Scott is seen at his best in this fine, suspenseful 1959 Western, with superior direction by Budd Boetticher, a taut, complex screenplay by Burt Kennedy, and a great cast.
Also in the cast are Karen Steele, Pernell Roberts, James Coburn, Donna Reed, Boyd Stockman, Roy Jenson and Lee Marvin.
It is shot in Eastman Color by Charles Lawton Jr, produced by Budd Boetticher and scored by Heinz Roemheld.
Randolph Scott and Cary Grant shared Bachelor Hall together in Malibu for 12 years.
