Disc 1
Rage At Dawn
Forrest Tucker, Randolph Scott (1955)
"Rage at Dawn" is an interesting, but not particularly classic western. What makes it stand apart from most is the intorduction of espionage. Sturdy as ever, Scott is a "Peterson" man, an obvious allusion to the famous Pinkerton Detective Agency. He must infiltrate a gang of murderous outlaw brothers and trick them into causing their own downfall. Their beautiful sister, a non-crook, and Scott naturally hit it off. Familiar faces? How about a clean-shaven Denver Pyle?
