Badman's Country

Pat Garrett (George Montgomery) arrives in Abilene where he catches five of Butch Cassidy's gang. He calls in Wyatt Earp (Buster Crabbe) and Bat Masterson (Gregory Walcott) and they learn there is a half million dollar shipment of money arriving by train and Cassidy (Neville Brand) is amassing enough men to take it.

George Montgomery as Pat Garrett heads a good cast including Buster Crabbe as Wyatt Earp and manages to stop a raid by Butch Cassidy and co., but not before there's plenty of trouble - most of the trouble comes from Morris Ankrum as the meddling Mayor who throws spanner in the works for Garrett and his crew in stopping the raid. It makes for good drama - the plot is fast moving and flows with not a dull moment. It's an entertaining B which leads to an energetic bout of gun play. There's some good dialogue, too. Karin Booth adds some much needed glamour amidst the gunsmoke.
