Looking for another mediocre 1950s western? Try Escape from Fort Bravo, starring William Holden as the leader of a Union prison camp and John Forsythe as one of the Confederate prisoners who's planning an escape. Stuck in the middle of Arizona with nothing but desert and Indians on all sides, what's the escape plan? You'll just have to rent the movie to find out.
I can tell you, without spoiling anything because it's very easy to guess and it gets revealed pretty quickly, that the master plan includes the lure of a woman. The beautiful Eleanor Parker is recruited to distract Bill so John and the others can escape. But when sparks fly for real, what will happen? A number of things, including extensive wardrobe changes for Miss Parker, which are the best parts of the movie. The end action scene is pretty good and there are lots of horse stunts, but you can also find those in any number of westerns.
