Featured review
Nifty little western
Someone is trying to frame Logan (Gordon Macrae), the son of a sheriff, not just for the murder of a rancher he fought in a saloon, but for a series of bank robberies - Logan gets a chance to break out and find out who is impersonating him by wearing his clothes and committing the crimes.
Return of the Frontiersman is a highly enjoyable low-budget Western with a rather hectic plot, sharp dialogue, and plenty of fist fights, bank and stagecoach robberies, and horseback chases and exciting shootouts.
Gordon Macrae makes a great western actor, handling the action and riding the horse well - as attested in the plethora of chase sequences- and he sings too; pity he didn't make more westerns. Rory Calhoun went on to do more westerns- it's a treat to see Jack holt as a dutiful sheriff and the pretty Julie London.
A really good shoot-em up.
