Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 1869, the state of Wyoming became the first state to grant women the right to vote. The first woman to serve on a jury in the U.S. was in Laramie, Wyoming in 1870. There were no all-female juries in any trial in the state as depicted in this film. In 1871 a judge declared the Suffrage Act of 1869 did not apply to women on juries. Subsequently, no woman served on a jury (except in one case in 1880) until the law was changed in 1949.

Featured review
Routine and colorful Western decently played by John Payne and made in Universal International style
A rebel soldier, John Payne, is assigned by his commander in chief to find who is behind the flop in the building of a railway in Laramie. The army official finds alcoholic people and drink plentiful in the railway workers. He also meets a beautiful ally, Mari Blanchard, an exdancer and owner of a bustly saloon along with Dan Duryea, an ex-colleague of Payne who is behind it all. As Duryea is really a booze peddler who along with his hoodlum, Lee Van Cleef, deliver alcohol to the labourers who are building the railroad. Both of them tangle into a twisted confrontation and at the end a thrilling fight takes place aboard a train. This is the saga of the man who blazed the trail for the iron horse across the wide frontier.
Run-of-the-mill Universal International Pictures with usual elements, such as noisy action, thrills, crossfire, drama, romance and some spectacular action scenes on a train. There is even some historical remark, as the jury who judges Dan Duryea is formed by women, and resulted to be actually the first served by women in the state of Wyoming 1870 . Stars John Payne, one of the popular actors of the forties and fifties, today a little forgotten. He starred the classy Miracle in 34th street and performed all kinds of genres as Noir: Slighly scarlet, Kansas City confidential, The vanquished, Adventure: Raiders of seven seas, Crosswinds, Tripoli, Iceland and Western : Santa Fe passage, Silver lode, Tennessee's partner, The Road to Denver. He also starred various Tv series and episodes as The restless gun and Zane Grey. Payne is well accompanied by a good support cast as the prestigious Dan Duryea here co-starring , the habitual baddie Lee Van Cleef pre-Sergio Leone, James Griffith, Harry Shannon, George Chandler, Stephen Chase, Douglas Kennedy and Joyce Mackenzie.
The motion picture titled Rails into Laramie was professionally directed by Jesse Hibbs though with no much enthusiasm. He directed a lot of films and several episodes of notorious TV episodes. His fetish actor was Audie Murphy, whom directed in known and big boxoffice films as To hell and back, World in my corner, Medal of honor, Ride a crooked trail. Rating 5/10. Passable and acceptable but average.
