A George Montgomery Western Double Feature: Gun Belt (1953) / The Lone Gun (1954)

1/13/2014

 
Picture

I grew up on westerns. From "Clint Eastwood nights" on Sea-Tac's KCPQ Channel 13, to countless John Wayne films airing Saturday afternoons, to Bonanza, The Big Valley and The Rifleman reruns in syndication, to Gene Autry movies on cable, I devoured whatever hoss operas were served up on television. But the older I get, and the more westerns I see, the more I realize that I've only just barely scraped the tip of the iceberg of this, my favorite genre. Especially when it comes to that most prolific decade for the western, the 1950s, which not only saw a proliferation of big-budget "A" westerns, but a veritable mother lode of smaller-scale, bottom half of the bill "B" flicks that - thanks to the likes of Warner Archives, Shout Factory and others - are only now starting to appear on home video.  These fun little cowboy yarns featured actors who might never have made it to the big time, but were definitely stars in their own right in this specialized field.

Picture
Case in point is George Montgomery, who top-billed nearly thirty such westerns throughout the 50s and into the early 60s, and who is a completely new discovery for me. Somehow, I've never come across this guy or any of his movies before, but am glad to have finally made his acquaintance with these two neat little meat-and-potatoes western tales. Released by United Artists, Gun Belt and The Lone Gun were both directed with gusto by longtime genre workhorse Ray Nazarro, and while neither could be said to be groundbreaking or full of psychological or stylistic complexity like some of their more famous 50s counterparts, both deliver the honest western goods, with strong casts, fast-paced stories and plenty of action. In fact, it was just this sort of straight-up, rock-solid western entertainment that powered the Hollywood movie machine, and the low-key yet undeniable pleasures they deliver should not be underestimated.

Of the two, Gun Belt can claim the more interesting plot, with double-crosses piled upon double-crosses, though for some reason writer Jack DeWitt culls his character names from real-life historical figures, but with just enough changes to make you wonder why he bothered in the first place. Notorious outlaw Matt Ringo (John Dehner) breaks out of prison and reunites with his old gang. Learning that a scheme to rob a million dollar gold bullion shipment won't go forward without the help of his brother, reformed badman Billy (not Johnny) Ringo (Montgomery), Matt decides to pay him a visit on the hardscrabble ranch Billy's been working since Matt's been in prison. Helping Billy make a go of the rundown ranch is Matt's son, Chip (Tab Hunter), who's overjoyed to see his black sheep pop show up. Things quickly go sour, though, when the upright Billy refuses to return to his gunslinger ways, leading Matt to stage a robbery at the local bank to put his brother in the frame and force him to join up. Now a wanted man, just a few days away from marriage to his long-suffering sweetheart, Arlene (Helen Westcott), Billy has to play a dangerous game, staying one step ahead of the law (personified by Wyatt Earp, played here by James Millican), assuming command of Matt's old gang in the hopes of rounding up the bad guys, led by Ike Clinton and clearing his good name - not to mention keeping his naïve, wayward nephew from following in his father's footsteps.

Despite treading familiar shoot-'em-up territory, Gun Belt has a lively plot and a lightning pace, packing lots of incident into its 77 minute running time. It gets a big boost from its expert cast of familiar cowpoke faces, from lean, mean-looking cusses like Jack Elam and Douglas Kennedy, to "I know that guy" supporting stalwarts like Willis Bouchey (here playing a sympathetic banker) and Hugh Sanders. The one weak link is callow Tab Hunter, saddled with an irritatingly thick, ungrateful character (while no Brando, Hunter would go on to deliver better performances in later westerns such as Track of the Cat and Gunman's Walk). Big, broad-shouldered, square-jawed Montgomery makes for a staunch, upright hero, and main heavy William Bishop is a fine, smiling rattlesnake of a head bad guy.

Clocking in at a brisk 76 minutes, The Lone Gun is considered by many aficionados to be one of Montgomery's best, though the man himself is more surly and edgier this time out; not hardbitten enough, however, to keep the movie from being stolen right out from under him by co-star Frank Faylen. Montgomery plays Cruze, a tough ex-lawman at loose ends who meets up on the trail with loquacious gambler Fairweather (Faylen). When the two ride into the next town,
a trio of no good, cattle rustling skunks, the Moran brothers (Neville Brand, Douglas Kennedy and Robert J. Wilke *, and a better pack of leathery heavies you could scarcely ask for), make the mistake of trying to bully Fairweather. Big bruiser Cruze lays the smackdown on them and soon finds himself installed as town marshal once again. The stern Cruze takes his new, $100 a month job seriously, warning card sharp Fairweather to stay on the straight and narrow. (Cruze: "You know, I've heard a lot of complaints about the way you've been operating, Fairweather." "Oh, losers always complain...it's a cross the man of talent must bear.")

Meanwhile, the Moran brothers steal nearly a thousand head of cattle from local ranchers and force young Cass Downing (Skip Homeier), who's in hock to them to the tune of $3,000, to let them hide the rustled cows at his ranch, much to the chagrin of his pretty sister, Charlotte (a brunette Dorothy Malone). When Cass tries to back out of the deal, threatening to spill the beans to the new marshal, the Morans backshoot him and set up Fairweather to take the fall for the murder. Things end up in an inevitable showdown up in the boulder-strewn hills, as Cruze and wily pacifist Fairweather take the brutish Moran brothers down.

Faylen (perhaps best known for playing taxi driver Ernie in It's a Wonderful Life) is great as the genial, philosophical gambler, and the rest of the cast (including Douglas Fowley as weaselly bartender Charlie) are right on the money. The plot is more simplistic here compared to Gun Belt, but the sceenplay (by Don Martin and Richard Schayer) is tight, and Faylen's presence gives The Lone Gun the edge in the colorful character department. He gets all the best lines (such as this exchange with snarling captor, Hort (Kennedy):


Fairweather:


Hort:

Fairweather:
Yessir...I used to be as handy with a frying pan as I am with a deck of cards. Why, my crepe suzettes were the talk of San Antone.

You got a lot of happy lip for a guy who isn't gonna live much longer.

If I live until you personally get the marshal, I'll die of old age, nitwit.


No-nonsense and a bit po-faced here, the 6' 3" former boxer Montgomery nonetheless comes across as a fairly commanding screen presence in both these films. Over the course of a 50-year acting career, Montgomery found himself in a few "A" list pictures, like Orchestra Wives and Battle of the Bulge, plus a few "A minus" ones, like Watusi (built around leftover, unused stock footage from King Solomon's Mines), but in the end couldn't quite make the transition out of the realm of low-budget quickies. Besides his many big screen westerns, he also headlined the short-lived series Cimarron City on television in the late 50s.  A man of many talents, Montgomery eventually retired from acting and became a successful artist and sculptor. For an excellent overview of all Montgomery's westerns, readers are directed to Boyd Mager's wonderful Western Clippings website.

Both films have come to DVD
with decent transfers from Shout Factory (on their Movies 4 You: Western Classics release) the color cinematography on both a little washed out - and featuring what appears to be some registration problems on the Technicolor Gun Belt - but overall, both films look pretty nice, especially The Lone Gun. Gun Belt is in the appropriate 4:3 ratio, but The Lone Gun, composed for 1:66 widescreen, is here presented full frame. The image looks just fine and not overly cropped in 4:3, however, and purists shouldn't balk at picking up this set, especially for the low price. (Thanks to Toby at 50 Westerns from the 50s for bringing this set to my attention, as well as for giving me some welcome details about the aspect ratio situation on these two titles). The other two movies in the set (both from 1957) are Gunsight Ridge (with Rory Calhoun) and Ride Out For Revenge (with Joel McCrea); they look equally interesting and I eagerly anticipate digging into those sometime in the future. Despite the lack of proper widescreen enhancement on this set, it's a most welcome release and hopefully will sell well enough for Shout Factory or similar small companies to release a good deal more just like it.

Anyone looking for a pair of no-frills, quick-moving cowboy flicks that deliver a gun-blazing good time could do a heck of sight worse than these two George Montgomery programmers. While generally only the big guns, such as Shane, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and The Magnificent Seven, as well as the usual John Wayne and Clint Eastwood titles, seem likely to receive the  deluxe Blu-Ray treatment, I for one am very glad that small DVD companies like Shout Factory, Olive Films and others continue to raid the budget western cupboard for affordable standard DVD sets such as this. I'll be on the lookout for more westerns by Montgomery, as well as contemporaries like Rod Cameron, Bill Elliott, Tim Holt and many more who rode the dusty, B-western movie trail.

* Note: Oddly enough, there's a big gaffe in the end credits to The Lone Gun: Douglas Kennedy, clearly referred to as "Hort" throughout the film, is mistakenly credited as "Gad," switched with Robert J. Wilke, who actually played "Gad." I'm sure there have been other similar mistakes throughout the years, but this is the first instance I can remember off the top of my head.

Hi Joel! I got this set and enjoyed both films as part of delving into a number of George Montgomery Westerns last year. In fact, I called it "the year of the Western," I tried out so many, so I love seeing that you have the same interest in exploring the genre more deeply.

Of those I've seen so far, I especially recommend Montgomery's CANYON RIVER (1956) from Warner Archive and GUN DUEL IN DURANGO (1957) from MGM.

James Millican, who you mention above, is an actor I've especially enjoyed becoming familiar with thanks to watching lots of Westerns last year. Especially enjoyed him in Rory Calhoun's THE SILVER WHIP (1953).

If you haven't checked out many Rod Cameron films I highly recommend PANHANDLE (1948) from VCI, cowritten by Blake Edwards. STAMPEDE (1949) and SHORT GRASS (1950) are pretty good too, both from Warner Archive.

My fave Western discovery of last year, though, was George O'Brien. Three of his RKO Westerns are out from Warner Archive.

You're so right about the entertainment value to be found in these lesser-known Westerns, including a lot of great actors doing their thing. Will look forward to reading more posts from you on Westerns in the future! :)

Best wishes,
Laura

Thank you very much for the detailed comments and other recommended titles, Laura! I know you've covered many of these kinds of westerns on your blog over the past few years. Thanks also for the reminder about George O'Brien, another name I've heard a lot about but haven't yet seen. Speaking of Rod Cameron, STAMPEDE and SHORT GRASS are high on my Warner Archives wishlist, and I'll keep a lookout for VCI's PANHANDLE as well.

Hey, Joel!
Admittedly Westerns aren't my favorite genre although I've watched my share growing up since my dad watches at least one a day. He has probably seen this one 10 times and I do know that he has mentioned on a few occasions that Dorothy Malone reminds him of my mother when she was young.

My dad also told me that I need to start collecting more cowboy star autographs so I did get Montgomery's along with Warner Baxter, Roy Rogers, Randolph Scott and Charles Skarrett's. ha ha

Anyway, I mention that only because I've been searching for more films on GM so you've given me one to add to my list with this honest and interesting review. (When will I ever get through the list though is another matter.) Nothing wrong with a 'quick moving cowboy flick.'

Also, I certainly like Westerns a lot more than Musicals and horror films. (the really gory ones today.)

See ya around!

Hey Page! Thanks for the comments...your dad not only seems to have good taste in movies, but must be a lucky guy, if your mom resembled Dorothy Malone! :) If I remember right, you wrote a funny piece on how your mom isn't crazy about Carole Lombard or MY MAN GODFREY...she sounds like quite a lady! Glad to have steered you in the direction of a couple more George Montgomery flicks.

My pleasure, I hope you'll have the chance to explore some of these!

George O'Brien in a Western is great "movie comfort food." He has a sunny personality that's a lot of fun.

PS I just realized my brain was on autopilot and I typed another 4-letter "J" name instead of your name in my last comment -- I really knew who I was talking to (grin), my apologies for my absent-mindedness!

Best wishes,
Laura

No worries about the name mix-up, Laura - I did figure that you probably knew who you were talking to! ;) Thanks again for the western recommendations!

Must admit, I can only think of a handful of George montgomery films off the top of my head (and THE BRASHER DOUBLOON isn't exactly a favourite either in terms of his casting) but really refreshing to see these two little movies get their due - thanks chum.

Jeff
1/16/2014 05:26:03 pm

Thanks, Sergio! I have yet to see THE BRASHER DOUBLOON, but seem to remember you commenting rather disparagingly about it in a blog post some time ago. Think you might enjoy his presence more in westerns like these.

Laura link
1/18/2014 01:42:51 am

Hi Jeff and Sergio! If I can add in an alternative view, I really enjoyed THE BRASHER DOUBLOON! I found it a nice surprise and loved its mood, such as the way it captures the warm Santa Ana winds (great use of shadows). It was also fun for me as when I was a child I had watched the Rose Parade from the mezzanine window of the very building which features in the murder. Maybe it helps that I'm a Montgomery fan but I found it a lot of fun to watch him as Marlowe.

Will be interested how you come down on this one, Jeff. :)

Best wishes,
Laura

Jeff, I enjoyed reading your incisive review of these two George Montgomery films as well as all the additional information about the actor. I love western books and films and sometimes I wish I could spend all my time on this particular genre. However, every time I see a new western book or film I realise just how little I know about westerns in general.

Jeff
1/16/2014 05:27:56 pm

Thanks for the comment, Prashant! I enjoy reading your western book reviews, and sympathize with your wish to spend more time with a beloved genre. I too feel like I could spend days on end watching cowboy flicks, but something else always seems to get in the way.

Good stuff Jeff. I guess I don't have to tell you how fond I am of westerns from the 50s - the big ones, the small ones and everything in between.
These more modest efforts are an important part of the genre and largely responsible for its success and popularity throughout its finest decade. And I agree, there is so much to explore and consequently so much to enjoy. I continually find myself either stumbling upon or being directed by others towards movies I've yet to see. It's great that you're helping spread the word about the pleasure to be found in films like these.

Jeff
1/16/2014 05:30:36 pm

Cheers, Colin! We're of the same mind on the importance of these more modest westerns, to be sure. You yourself have pointed me in the direction of quite a few titles I had no knowledge of previously, so thanks for that, too, mate!

These sound worth checking out, especially "Gun Belt." I have an interest in Wyatt Earp portrayals on film, and this one passed me by.

I think I noticed Montgomery from his early Fox movies, in titles like "Coney Island" where he seems to be channeling Clark Gable. Looks like I need to check out more of his westerns. Thanks for the heads up on these.

Jeff
1/16/2014 05:33:57 pm

Thanks for stopping back by, Kevin! The "Wyatt Earp" angle is tangential but interesting, and as an Earp fan you'll hopefully find it interesting...at any rate, GUN BELT is worth watching as a movie overall. Thanks for mentioning CONEY ISLAND, which I haven't seen and know nothing about...will keep an eye out for that one.

Joel, my good man! :)

Great choices for a duo review! I dug these mucho; nice, solid cowboy shooters, if not huge standouts relative to all the great ones made at the time. I'd like to get these to add to the collection!

Jeff
1/18/2014 10:07:45 am

Heh heh...thanks, amigo! This is definitely a good, cheap DVD set to add to your other cowboy classics. I know you're an even bigger fan than I am when it comes to these kinds of bread-and-butter shoot-'em-ups.

My dad is and always has been a lover of Westerns, so I rather grew up on them too. Seems we were always watching John Wayne films, though the only one I really remember watching (and loving) as a kid was "True Grit," and the draw for me was Glen Campbell. I did enjoy all the Western TV shows, which filled the airwaves through the 1960's and early 1970's.

After the early 70's, though, I largely left Westerns behind...and, as you know, I quite disliked the genre, in large part, I think, because the men are always scruffy and unshaved, and I like my men clean-shaven.

Anyhow, having Audie Murphy as my star of the month this past June forced for to watch more Westerns in one month than I had in the last 10 years combined! And you know what, I found the genre appealing to me. (Of course, Audie's usually clean-shaven, so maybe that is why.) I am definitely willing to give the genre another look, and, in fact, one of the most famous Westerns ever (Stagecoach) is on my "must watch" list this year.

Anyhow, I am excited that you have found a treasure trove of "new to you" Westerns to appreciate.

Jeff
1/18/2014 10:13:25 am

Hi there, Patti - thanks for the comments! I appreciate you sharing your background watching westerns with your dad. I have similar memories, though I also sought them out on my own readily enough (I was an omnivorous consumer of pretty much whatever was on the tube growing up, especially if it was action or fantasy-oriented.).

I know your distaste for leading men with facial hair, but as you can see from many of the above screen caps, George Montgomery usually went clean-shaven in his movies. ;) STAGECOACH is a good one, I think you'll enjoy it. At any rate, I'm glad your marathon watch of many Audie movies has turned you around on the western genre somewhat.

Thanks as always for stopping by!

Jeff
1/18/2014 10:15:32 am

Laura - thanks for the alternate take on THE BRASHER DOUBLOON! I'm a big Chandler/Marlowe fan and am willing to give any adaptation a fair shake. Even though I can't quite picture Montgomery as Marlowe, I'll be sure to give it a look sometime.

These are two westerns I've not heard of, let alone seen. Sign me up!

I used to find westerns boring and still do, if all the characters do is ride around shooting each other. But the ones that are well done present fascinating characters, tense situations and – as you've pointed out – some great lines.

I also realized I don't know much abut George Montgomery, so I'm off to do some online searching. Thanks for another great post!

Jeff
1/19/2014 11:34:43 am

Hiya, Ruth! Yeah, I can understand how action without any interesting characterization or interesting plot could dampen your enthusiasm...luckily, most westerns - certainly from the 50s on - are chock full of good, tasty meat on the bone. Thanks for the comments, and let me know what you think if and when you catch up on some George Montgomery movies.
