Vengeance Valley


This is a case where, thankfully, the production didn't damage the quality of the story. In 1951 this little western came out and I doubt it was very succesful, as it only cost around a dollar to buy. That doesn't mean this is a bad movie though, as I was thouroughly entertained throughout the entire picture.
This movie has surprisigly very little to do with "vengeance" and I'm going to assume the title was created as sort of an attraction piece. The movie itself is about two ranch hands and their relationship with a new mother. Oscar is one of these men, and the majority of the film is about his best friend (the other man) that covers up for Oscar, as he is the man that impregnated the young lady. This is a great character study and fab little feature, and to my glee, the copy of the film I saw was as scratched up as ever.
