Coroner Creek (1959) Available on all-region DVD
Synopsis: There's very little
plot but plenty of entertaining punch-ups in this tough revenge western. Based
on the novel by Luke Short, it sees no-nonsense gunman Randolph Scott out to
get even following the death of his fiancée during a stagecoach raid.
He's so driven by hatred that all he seems to do is fight, turning the
titular small town into a battle zone as he works his way towards George
Macready's icy villain. In between the fisticuffs, the script is rudimentary
and the direction pedestrian, leaving it down to the handsome vistas and richly
saturated Cinecolor visuals to hold the attention.
