I sorta figure blood is thicker than good

I sorta figure blood is thicker than good resolutions... Five Guns to Tombstone is directed by Edward L. Cahn and collectively written by Ricahrd Schayer, Jack De Witt and Arthur Orloff. It stars James Brown, Walter Coy, Robert Karness and Willis Bouchey. Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter share composing duties and Maury Gertsman provides the cinematography. Not a lot to write home about here, where the plot treads familiar ground as reformed outlaw gets roped into bad ways again, and his brother is involved in the mess that follows. As some Western fans have rightly spotted, this is a remake of Ray Nazarro's Gun Belt from 1953. Itself not a great film, it is however the one to seek out in preference to this offering. Though made in 1960 this actually feels more like a 1940s Western, where an air of serial sogginess hangs over proceedings. Cahn appears to be one of those jobbing directors who studios turned to to haul a pic in on time. Everything is competently staged, the action etc, and the landscapes pleasing, but excitement is in short supply and the finale doesn't pay off for time invested in viewing. 4/10

Five Guns to Tombstone

A remake of the 1953 Western, Gun Belt (story by Arthur E. Orloff). Gun Belt was filmed in color and Five Guns to Tombstone is in black & white. Jim Brown gives a pretty good performance in the role of Billy Wade. I would guess Jim Brown is best known as Detective Harry McSween in the night time soap, Dallas. Jim had a great voice. These two films employ some of the same actors, Willis Bouchey, Red Morgan and Boyd Stockman. Also watch for Gregg Palmer as Mel Dixon in Five guns, Gregg was in a lot of John Wayne films. Gun Belt uses the character names, Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, Ringo and Ike Clinton (a 'take' on Clanton). These characters don't show up in Five Guns to Tombstone, but the story comes off just as well without them. These films are both 'middle of the road', but entertaining. If I had to choose between the two films, I would pick Five Guns to Tombstone. Although the story is the same, 'Five Guns' seems to progress more smoothly.
