Masterson of Kansas (1954)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by William Castle
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

George Montgomery is the famous Dodge City sheriff Bat Masterson. He is tasked with clearing the name of a falsely accused murderer, whose death would rekindle Indian wars. The man also happens to be the father of his romantic interest. Doc Holliday holds a personal grudge with him and is constantly itching for a showdown. Wyatt Earp completes the legendary trio but doesn't have much to do. It's mostly talk, talk, talk, and suffers from a low budget. Didn't they notice that they used the same outdoor set for both Dodge City and Hays City?
