Review of Black Spurs

Black Spurs (1965)
6/10
The bad guy turns good and all is well

Warning: Spoilers
An above average western made so by the inclusion of former stars and a half way satisfactory plot. It was good to see Bruce Cabot, although in the unlikely role as a dance hall bouncer as well as Lon Chaney, Richard Arlen, and Scott Brady. I must admit I had trouble recognizing DeForrest Kelley. Linda Darnell, though having a top billing, had only a minor role.

Terry Moore looked positively luscious and half her age. Rory Calhoun turned from negative to positive all too quickly after finding out he had Terry Moore's son. He also made a remarkable recovery after a tremendous brawl with Brady. Emerging without a mark, he claimed he was "beaten half to death". Seeing someone who had been tarred and feathered also was novel. Calhoun rides off into the Great West after announcing that he might become a sheriff somewhere. Black Spurs was entertaining but only because of its well known cast.
