Sunset Pass (1946)
7/10
Script full of holes and a director not paying attention almost ruin a good story
15 June 2021
Some very good actors are pretty much wasted in this rather sloppy script of a pretty good story.

There are many holes, including that the hero, Rocky, knows the name of a robber's horse. Conversation between Rocky and Chito that should be whispered, since they're right outside the room where the bad guys are, is almost shouted.

Apparently this production was rushed and no one paid a lot of attention.

However, there is a very capable cast, some good, even very good, running inserts, and the whole thing takes less than an hour.

It's not terrible, but at the end I was fairly miserable, thinking how, with all the talent, the movie was not a whole lot better.

There is a very good print at YouTube, further ruined by moronic and intrusive commercials, sometimes right in the middle of a sentence. Still, it's a Western, so it's watchable.
