Man in the Saddle (1951)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Andre De Toth
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony)

Randolph Scott is more like the man in the middle in this western melodrama. He's in love with red-headed Joan Leslie, but she marries a wealthy rancher for his money even though she is still in love with Scott. The rancher sends a hired gunman and various cowboys to try to shoot Scott. He's wounded in one fight and nursed back to health by a lovely blonde neighbor. They are attracted to each other but don't do anything about it. Eventually Scott gets in a shoot out with the rancher on a windy day, with both girls caught in the middle.
