Pernell Roberts and James Coburn caught my attention, and with a melancholic title like Ride Lonesome, I knew I wanted to check this western out. It's a rather short, but tightly and efficiently directed film that ended up being better than expected. It seems that to many Randolph Scott is a big deal in westerns, but to me he seemed a bit mechanical and overly detached, to the detriment of the film. Nevertheless, the remainder of the cast all do a swell job and cover all of their basis quite well. The script is well written with some subtext going on and as for the cinematography, I've seldom seen landscape and open country this unique and interesting before, its visually a beauty.
