Saskatchewan (1954)


Directed by Raoul Walsh
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Great location shooting in Canada is the highlight of this Technicolor western from Universal International. However, leads Alan Ladd and Shelley Winters lack charisma, with Winters giving an especially poor performance. The special effects for a couple of big explosions are nothing more than an overlay of some fireworks...terribly done. Overall it's quite a disappointment from the normally reliable Raoul Walsh.
