Quantez (1957)


Universal-International Pictures
Directed by Harry Keller
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal Vault Series)

Talky drama about a gang of thieves and killers holed up in a dusty abandoned town. They bicker among themselves over Dorothy Malone, each man trying to convince her that he is the one for her. Eventually, Indians arrive and force the issue. Fred MacMurray is unconvincing as the aging gunslinger and de facto leader of the group. He speaks in short sentences which are supposed to make him sound wise, but instead seem forced and insincere. Malone also struggles to maintain her southern accent.
