The Broken Star (1956)


Directed by Lesley Selander
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Howard Duff is the crooked deputy who uses his position to murder a Mexican and steal his gold. His best friend and fellow deputy Bill Williams is charged to investigate the killing, refusing to believe his eyes when the clues point to Duff. In fact, this is more of a mystery with a western setting than a pure western. An old Indian is a key eyewitness. Lita Baron sings "I Hate You" while wielding a mean whip. Duff is just too dull to carry this rather lackluster film.
