    • Trivia
      Virginia Mayo was originally slated to play the lead female role in this movie, but director Budd Boetticher ended up giving the part to Karen Steele, with whom he was romantically involved. Mayo still received second billing.
    • Goofs
      This takes place during the Civil War. And typical of movies about the period, everyone has a cartridge belt and pistol instead of the 'cap and ball' available at the time.
    • Quotes

      Rod Miller: [going into the stage stop] Well, they tell me they got a good man runnin' this place.

      Capt. John Hayes: [laconically] Let you know after I drink his coffee.

    My Comment

    Greeting.

    I cannot recall exactly how many times I have watched the film, "Westbound." I saw it in the theaters with my dad in 1959, and on TV many, many times since then. I have always enjoyed Randolph Scott, and Virginia Mayo (from St. Louis)! I liked the story of gold shipments from Julesburg, Colorado to the Federal Treasury. Confederates are waylaying the gold, and Randolph Scott returns to Julesburg to fix the problem.

    Great story. Great story within a story of the one armed Federal veteran running a relay station. The color was good too. HOWEVER, what grabbed my attention, and still does, is the musical score! The music, especially the theme for traveling stagecoaches, is perfect, and very melodic!

    Music is for me one of the major elements in a film. It must all be taken in together. I want desperately to purchase a VHS or DVD of Westbound so I can view it sans commercials, with great enjoyability!!! One of my very favorite Westerns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
