Backlash (1956)
8/10
The Gold of the Gila Valley!!!
4 August 2019
Although this production hadn't a big budge, it might a B-picture, thus the whole thing is supported by fine casting, guided by a wise screenplay and of course directed by a top notch as John Sturges, just these elements are enough to make something valuable at least, the plot summarized is about a man Jim Slater (Widmark) who never saw his absent father which he was involved in 60.000 dollars gold at Gila Valley, however many other relatives of the partner members are on the tracks, suddenly appears a beauty woman Karyl Orton (Donna Reed) who in fact looking for his husband that disappears since the war is over, after follow many clues they find what are looking for and wasn't as they expect, it seems an usual western, but isn't, has something more, Slater never got any interest in the gold, he wants to find his father or revenge him if was found death, curiosity the final acting took place on a remarkable city, so many picture were made there, Rio Bravo, The Badlanders, Eldorado, Walk the Proud Land and others countless movies, what a scenario!!!
