Oklahoma Territory (1960)


Directed by Edward L. Cahn
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(MGMHD)

Dry courtroom drama with a western setting. Bill Williams is a DA who prosecutes an Indian friend of his for murder. The evidence is overwhelming and the Indian is sentenced to hang. After the fact, the DA begins to wonder if his friend has been framed and digs deeper. He more or less forces a new trial at gunpoint. It seemed to me he should have done things the other way around. Anyway, there are a couple of routine shootouts and a brief attempt at a lynch mob, but mostly it's talk, talk, talk in the courtroom.
