I started reading Western's as a 12 year old, Max Brand, Zane Grey, etc. This is a Classic I had never seen or heard before, true quality script. Unique twists and turns, good Movie. Thank You!
This is what a movie must teach and guide the society, truth prevails no matter what. It may look weary and disappointing for a short while, but it will prevail, for it is the foundation and purpose of creation. God bless.
As a western addict since childhood (almost) I am happy to recommend this film to fellow western lovers. Especially as John Carradine appears. England, January, 2024.
I continue to watch this movie over and over! This is the 3rd this year I’ve seen this superb movie👍🏾 The justice was handled slow and directly. 😉👏🏽👍🏾💯
What a tough Judge Joel McCrea, manage to serve justice for the people of small western town. Bring law & order in place against a cattle baron with just a help from the sheriff and the father & daughter as the witness. Great movie.
For people who don't understand (see comments below), this movie was about principles not outcomes. It's principles of fairness and justice and that the rule of law supercedes feelings and loyalties, principles that are hard to find today where people too often just want what they want and will lie and bully others to get their way.
@@MOGGS1942 I have to say I do not really like the westerns of Randolph Scott (with one or two exceptions), I find them too soft and he lacks the authority of other western actors. But yes, in the Ride the High Country he is excellent.
i have lots of collection of western pocketbooks have read n reread them some i saw now in utube. i love watching them.John Wayne zanè Gray Ramona made me cry.i have read it about 3 times n still affects me emotionally.thank u 4 uploading thesemovies
Terrific western. Joel McCrea was perfect as a circuit judge. The climax reminds me of True Grit... Rooster vs. the bad guys. McIntyre is a winner as antagonist.
The principles and outcomes were a big challenge to the judge, the witness, and the lady that came to love the judge inspire of being betrothed to the family's bank manager.❤❤❤❤A great and wonderful movie that I have watched recently though it's a lot old.
This movie was based on a story by Louis L’Amour (1907-1988), arguably one on the three greatest western novelists of the 20th century, right up there with Max Brand and Zane Grey. L’Amour lived to see many of his novels arrive on the silver screen and the television screen, and was known for his series of novels featuring the Sackett family from Tennessee who headed out west as gunfighters, lawmen, bounty hunters, prospectors, and settlers. He was one of my mom’s favorite authors, and I got hooked on his novels as well.
Joel Mccrea is one of my favourite Western Movies 🎬 Actors . I am Australian... but Gee l wish 🤞 sometimes l was born in the USA 🇺🇸 & had the opportunity 2 be around these wonderfull Actors
just seeing the wonderful locations where the movies were filmed is an eyeopener, too. Nothing like the American West. My ancestors were Homesteaders, Pioneers, & Cowboys in Kansas. A hard life, but, they prospered. Maybe you can visit one day.
Great film! Joel McCrea and John McIntire NEVER disappoint! The ending was superb. The bad guys almost never win, but with a couple minutes to go, it looked like John had Joel licked. Four star western all the way, with an excellent supporting cast. 🔫🔫🔫🔫
This was a great movie. It was kinda sad when it ended. They could have made this movie much longer. The acting was good, the writing, directing. Watch it!
Brothers and Sisters. That was a Great flick. Didn't know what was going to happen. Till last minute. Seen Last Train from Gun Hill. About 7 times. Better!!!
The story for this movie was written by Louis L’Amour (1907-1988), quite possibly the greatest western novelist of the 20th century. He was best known for his series of novels featuring the Sackett family, and quite a few novels were filmed for the silver screen and the television screen, including the two-part television mini-series THE SACKETTS (1979) with Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott and the television movie CONAGHER (1991) with Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross.
Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea two of my favorite western actors.I'll watch them before I watch a John Wayne movie.BTW, Miroslava was more popular in Mexico as an actress in the 50's before commiting suicide at 32.
Ending wasn't any good. Too many open questions. Who did the judge end up with out of the two girls? Was Thomas found guilty? He committed another murder on the trail?
The cattle king of Australia could travel from the bottom of South Australia, to the Gulf in Queensland, and not get off his own land. Australia is virtually the same area as North America, so it is not small. Quite a feat a hundred years ago, to own roughly that many properties.. His name was Sydney Kidman. If he had been over a place he never forgot it. One of his Stations, Durham Downs, in the channel country, was 4000 square miles. This is by no means the biggest Station over here, but it gives you an idea .
However good his (Joel McCrea) westerns are, for me no other of his films can top "Fort Massacre"(1958) For it's more than a western, a great war movie comparable to "The Steel Helmet"(1951) & "Pork Chop Hill"
@@tenaatv I saw "Fort Massacre" twice in theaters in my SE Asian country.. The 1st time in 1962 & I was sorely perplexed by its bleakness. The 2nd time in 1966, & I understood it as a true war movie & no longer a "cowboys - Indians" western. Joel McCrea and John Russell delivered absolutely !
Great movie with solid cast depicting the age old battle between right and wrong. On another note, my soon to be 90 y.o. mother told me that in her day, only prostitutes wore lipstick and plastered gobs of make-upon themselves like they portray most of the women in this movie and others. And people believe that all this loose portrayal of women was for lighting purposes. Now, that s funny. 🙏
Thanks for uploading this good film. Miroslava Šternová Beková (Amy Lee Bannerman) committed suicide just a few weeks before this film was released. She overdosed on sleeping pills.
Gotta go and see if I can't find same movie elsewhere. Too many commercials!!! Can honestly say, I've never in 70 years, bought a single thing because of a commercial. Sorry. Good movie
Very good Western up to the last 10 min, then it becomes unbelievable. The open endiing does nor help, and the 65' length makesv this film hard to classify: B in terms of length but first class as far as direction and acting are concerned.
An interesting movie. Thanks for posting. Not too sure that Louis Lamour had much to do with this silly script (Lamour wrote with more reality): McCrae's character isn't too bright and the plot is too predictable.
He certainly would have received the Death Penalty and as a favour to his Old Man, he would have been allowed to pull the lever. Fair's fair, after all.
Mr. McCrea was always to me a very good actor. Never saw a movie he wasn’t good in. Thank you for sharing. 🤩
I started reading Western's as a 12 year old, Max Brand, Zane Grey, etc. This is a Classic I had never seen or heard before, true quality script. Unique twists and turns, good Movie. Thank You!
I loved Zane Grey's books as an adolescent. You can find some on the internet.
This is what a movie must teach and guide the society, truth prevails no matter what. It may look weary and disappointing for a short while, but it will prevail, for it is the foundation and purpose of creation. God bless.
Well said.
As a western addict since childhood (almost) I am happy to recommend this film to fellow western lovers. Especially as John Carradine appears. England, January, 2024.
It’s a genuine Louis L’Amour novel. I read him. He was Awesome to say the least.
Was a loss to nations. He wrote significantly.
Joel McCrea what a fine actor, I would watch him all day
I continue to watch this movie over and over! This is the 3rd this year I’ve seen this superb movie👍🏾 The justice was handled slow and directly. 😉👏🏽👍🏾💯
I was pleased to read a piece wherein Joel McCrea decided to continue his career in only WESTERNS.
His last movie was in the Godfather as the police captain.
@@paulbklyn4742
Wrong, that was Sterling Hayden, a nonrepentant commie.
@@paulbklyn4742, the corrupt captain was Sterling Hayden (Johnny Guitar).
These old classics are truly amazing
I think I heard that Joel McCrea said his favorite movie was Stars In My Crown. I loved it.
What a tough Judge Joel McCrea, manage to serve justice for the people of small western town. Bring law & order in place against a cattle baron with just a help from the sheriff and the father & daughter as the witness. Great movie.
Classic Western. Well written and some good performances from a really entertaining cast. Joel does a great job!

Watched this Fabulous 1955 Western Heaps of Times . Never Tire of this Classic. Wine / Beer & Snacks. Kick Back & Enjoy. ...
Good script, excellent acting and leaving the audience with their imagination.
I would even give the horses an Oscar.
Joel McCrea. was born to play the role of a cowboy. Brilliant, he never disappoints. Thanks for sharing.
He was Not a Cowboy but a Judge !
Joel McCrea a great western hero. Glad that Peckinpah realized it and had him in the Ride the High Country, one of the best westerns ever made.
Agreed. McCrea and Randolph Scott were perfect.
@@MOGGS1942 I have to say I do not really like the westerns of Randolph Scott (with one or two exceptions), I find them too soft and he lacks the authority of other western actors. But yes, in the Ride the High Country he is excellent.
McCrea was excellent as judge in this remarkable old classic.
Out of context, I do like 'The Big Country'...
Randolph Scott-- best Western movie cowboy ever, hands down!

And Sam and Katherine had a long Happy marriage 💕
Pll
He cannot be compared to the very best western author Louis Masterson, or Kjell Hallbing, which was his real name. Ever read the Morgan Kane books?
@@per-arnemoa103 Can’t say as I have. Any good?

They don’t make movies like this anymore and not Good actors either. This movie has it all 👍
Mean people in this World. Then and Now.
Strangers when we meet
Strangers in the night
Not as a stranger
The question is what is a stranger!
A most unremarkable film
Banermen (John McIntyre) played wagon master on wagon train.
Excellent
Thank You!
Man and gun 🔫 never ever separated.. Man can leave a woman but not gun... Real man
Ending wasn't any good. Too many open questions. Who did the judge end up with out of the two girls? Was Thomas found guilty? He committed another murder on the trail?

However good his (Joel McCrea) westerns are, for me no other of his films can top "Fort Massacre"(1958)
For it's more than a western, a great war movie comparable to "The Steel Helmet"(1951) & "Pork Chop Hill"
Nice comment, noted!
@@tenaatv
I saw "Fort Massacre" twice in theaters in my SE Asian country..
The 1st time in 1962 & I was sorely perplexed by its bleakness.
The 2nd time in 1966, & I understood it as a true war movie & no longer a "cowboys - Indians" western.

Darn good movie.
The cat it kills it!❤😂
Talk about scenery, it’s got Ioads! Filmed in Sedona, AZ

I thought I had watched this movie before but now I’m not so sure. I don’t remember the ending if I did. 😮
Great movie.
Also the movie had a lot of other good actors. 🤩
Wait! It's over? Was he found guilty? did he hang? 2 girls couldn't go home. which one did the judge pick? How can it just end like that?
Going by what goes in the US today probably not. If you have family or friends in high places you can get away with anything
Never seen this one before
Great movie. Would have liked to see him found guilty.
Thanks for uploading this good film. Miroslava Šternová Beková (Amy Lee Bannerman) committed suicide just a few weeks before this film was released. She overdosed on sleeping pills.

I just love that old man whos drunk he’s funny as can be I’ve never known his name but hes funny
How does it feel to keep to uphold the law, loathsome. Classic
50:01 As in allllll westerns, when the good guys need it, there is always a shortcut - usually shorter than the shortest shortcut.
hate endings like this, watch the whole film, then you have to imagine the end for yourself rubbish.
Don't make them like that any more
No they don't :)
