Wagon Wheels is the worst western film of Randolph Scott's career. Why? It is something you never expect to see in a Scott film: It is boring. Scott is one of my western favorites ( maybe number three behind Gary Cooper and Alan Ladd). Speaking of Cooper, Wagon Wheels is a remake of Cooper's Fighting Caravans, and although the original was not Cooper's best it was far better. Lili Damita ( Felipe) was better looking and a better actress then Gail Patrick ( Nancy) and Cooper's Clint Balmet beats the Randolph Scott version. I will say that if you have not seen the original, you will probably like Wagon Wheels better then I did. I think Fighting Caravans is twice as good as Wagon Wheels and I gave Fighting Caravans 8 of 10 stars, so I give Wagon Wheels 4/10 stars.
