The Bounty Hunter (1954)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Andre De Toth
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Randolph Scott is the title character who trails a group of bank robbers to a sleepy western town. The other residents, mostly outlaws themselves, aren't too happy with his arrival. He tangles with the local doctor, his pretty daughter, the town sheriff and hotel manager. Most of them serve as red herrings to the identity of the real bandits. Scott is a cool customer and one of the more consistently watchable western icons. Shot but never shown in 3D, I only noticed one gimmick shot: a bullet blows the hat off an outlaw straight into the camera.
