The Burning Hills (1956)


Warner Bros
Directed by Stuart Heisler
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Tab Hunter's brother is killed by a neighboring rancher who wants his land. Driven by revenge, he confronts the killers and wounds the man responsible. However, they relentlessly pursue him across the wilderness. Wounded and near death, he is taken in by Natalie Wood, a half-Mexican girl whose father was killed by the same man. They work together to avoid capture. The most interesting part is the cat and mouse game between them and an Indian tracker hired by the pursuing gang. However, Hunter lacks charisma for the lead and Wood over-emotes as the Mexican spitfire.
