7/10
The Iron Neck Collar hold by chains !!!
6 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Since my teenage years Audie Murphy thrilled me with those B westerns, this one just come out, totally restored, the plot is a bit unusual and creative, two friends Audie Murphy and Charles Drake just arrived in the town, a drunk Drake lost his money on gambling, and sent to stay all night long hold by chains and iron neck collar, together with a dangerous Lavalle's gang, at sunrise they run away, invaded the bank and Drake stolen 12.000 dollars in bonds, Lavelle make a deal with Drake, leave him to change the bonds by money and bring back to save Murphy's life, nothing happened as planned, so Murphy offer himself to do it, even being a low budge this picture is very interesting, Charles Drake had a decent acting, Lavelle a rough guy played by Harold J Stone is fabulous as gang's leader, the old girlfriend of Drake called Estelle (Kathleen Crowley) was introduce in the middle of the picture and seems a girl without heart, great picture for a B movie standards, a bit short indeed, in the final scene stays a doubt, Murphy gives back the money??

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7.5.
