Decision at Sundown(dir. Budd Boetticher)
It was a rather standard and bland western. Randolph Scott is an actor who really needs to have good actors supporting him and since this film didn't really have any, it's easy to see why it's not so hot. The film ran at a sluggish pace due to spending most of it's time in a stable and a bar and a lack of narrative drive. There's only one memorable moment and that was when his partner hooks a dude's arm. Outside of that moment, the film was pretty much a bore. Valerie French gave a solid performance, but it wasn't good enough to salvage the thing. It was merely mediocre.
