Coroner Creek (1948)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Ray Enright
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Outstanding western with Randolph Scott seeking revenge on the man who killed his fiance in a stagecoach hold-up. Scott travels the west in search of the man he only knows by a basic description, finally catching up to him in a typical dusty western town of the southwest. The man is trying to take over the ranch of a local girl, so Scott teams up with her, even though he's got his own personal agenda. There is a lot of talk about vengeance and hatred, but Scott seems to always be on the right side. Scott has several brawls which are unusually fast and brutal, and there is an ending which would make Hitchcock proud...all in glorious Cinecolor.
