The Duel at Silver Creek, a review by Rogmeister

The Duel at Silver Creek (1952)  77m
Director: Don Siegel
Cast: Audie Murphy, Faith Domergue, Stephen McNally, Gerald Mohr, Susan Cabot, Lee Marvin

Hey, this movie came out the year I was born...this DVD has a terrific-looking print of this 58-year old movie, though it has no extras apart from the theatrical trailer.  The movie deals with a large group of claim jumpers who force miners to give up deeds to their claims...and often repay them by killing them.  Audie Murphy plays a young man whose father is killed...he winds up the deputy of the fast-drawing sheriff.  The action is fast and furious in this oater filled with gunplay and horse chases.  For some reason, most of the main cast members have nickhames...Audie is The Silver Kid, the sheriff is known as Lightning, a couple of the bad guys are Rat Face and Johnny Sombrero and the girls are referred to as Dusty and Brown Eyes.  One fly in the ointment for the good guys is the marshal has suffered a wound and can no longer pull the trigger on his six-gun with his good hand.  Of course, you know the good guys are going to prevail...right?

I just finished this set. After a four year break since watching season 5... I finally got season 6 to watch. And I must say... I forgot how much I enjoyed this show! Once I started to watch it... I just couldn't stop till I finished the set. This show has a great cast... including one of my all-time favorite actresses.... Catherine Bell. I am thrilled I have the next season (possibly the next 2 seasons) coming my way soon from a trade I made... as this season ends in a heck of a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see how it concludes. Unfortunately this set don't have any special features what so ever. This is definitely a series I would recommend.
