Man in the Saddle(dir. Andre De Toth)
Charlie the crazy Mexican dude was a great character. Some scenes are imaginative like the pitch black shootout and the fight that causes a house to collapse. The film's biggest problem is that it felt it was doing too much with the story, which is a good thing and a bad thing because it makes the film feel a little overstuft. Good.

Carson City(dir. Andre De Toth)
Slighty dull, but still entertaining enough to recommend.
**1/2 out of ****
The Stranger Wore a Gun(dir. Andre De Toth)
Same as above. Lee Marvin is UNDERUSED.
**1/2 out of ****
The Spoilers(dir. Ray Enright)
Dull and not entertaining enough to recommend. The conflict doesn't even feel like a conflict and isn't the least bit compelling. There is no chemistry between Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne. The attempts at humor using racial stereotypes was a little much especially the scene where Cherry's maid(?) thinks John Wayne in black face is a black man and starts coming on to him.
