The Castaway Cowboy 1974

 

Starring: James Garner

In 1850, a Shanghaied sailor on Hawaii helps a lady potato farmer to turn her land into a cattle ranch.

Not sure I ever bought it as a period piece but the Hawaii locations were stunning. Garner was so easy to watch and perfect in roles like this. I actually really enjoyed it, thanks Disney Channel.  7/10

I Bury The Living 1957

 

Starring: Richard Boone

The honorary chairman of a cemetery seems to have the power to mark people for death.

All a bit ridiculous to be honest and I thought of the idea of replacing black pins with white about 30 minutes before the lead. Watchable as it was so unusual.    5/10

Scandal Sheet 1952

 

Starring: Broderick Crawford

An editor has to allow his star reporter to expose a murderer - himself.

What a decent thriller this is, you know who the murderer is from the start but to watch the net closing in around him was very well done. Not overlong in length too.   7/10

The Last Outpost 1951

 

Starring: Ronald Reagan

A Civil War colonel finds his brother fighting on the other side.

Any film with Reagan always sparks my interest, not a bad effort either, best in the closing fight scenes with the Indians.   5/10
