Review of Shotgun

Shotgun (1955)
5/10
Cheap and below-average
8 October 2022
One need only check out the poster to see why Yvonne was in this film. The acting was acceptable, but basically it was everyone playing their stereotype. Zachary Scott again plays a weasel, which made me wonder at the loss to our film heritage by the failure to develop the talent he showed in The Southerner and Mildred Pierce. In the film I saw, there were major and multiple continuity problems, and the lighting of several scenes went from daylight to night, to twilight. And I wonder at whether Apaches would set up an inherently ludicrous "duel" in which more than one horse would likely be injured or killed.
