Barricade (1950)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Peter Godfrey
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Escapee Dane Clark takes refuge at a remote mining camp near the Mexican border run by despot Raymond Massey. He falls in love with Ruth Roman, also on the run from the law, who had the misfortune of ending up there after being injured in a stagecoach accident. They want to go straight and escape across the desert, but must first overcome Massey and his hired brutes. Unusual reworking of Jack London's "The Sea Wolf" in a western setting is not always successful, but nonetheless intriguing.
