Featured review
Solid suspense western
A Texan (Jeffrey Hunter) robs a train in an effort to prevent his father ( who is blackmailed into doing so) from committing the crime. A young girl (Mitzi Gaynor) attempts to help him after learning about the theft. A cowboy friend (Keefe Brasselle) demands a share of the money, but Jeff wants to return the money to the railroad. Keefe joins up with the villains and Jeff goes after them to clear his and his father's name and also to try and save Keefe from the bad hombres (don't know why he's one stupid and irritating character with a whiny voice!)
Three Young Texans is quite an interesting and engaging western with good performances, location and good photography all round. The title makes it sound like a fluffy story with young leads, but it has a noir-like suspense due to a dilemma - how does Jeffrey Hunter prevent his father from robbing the railroad's payroll? Simple, rob it himself and then return it to the authorities, but it isn't as simple as his avaricious friend steals the hidden money, hence spiralling the drama and action into one compelling western. Sometimes it's good to have low expectations, which I had for this western, thinking it was fairly average stuff, as it's nice to be surprised by a solid film.
