However, the area is terrorized by the ruthless Gabe Clevenger and his gang of hired guns. Britt wonders whose side his old friend Blair Lunsford is on. Lunsford has used the unrest to buy up parcels of land on the cheap and hopes to profit from this speculation after the territory is cleaned up and ultimately become governor. Britt sees through his friend’s ambition, and they are alternately allies and antagonists. Britt is also distracted by girl-next-door Flora Talbott and and seductive Amy Brooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTARS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000068\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003eRandolph Scott\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0108406\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003eDavid Brian\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0857187\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003ePhyllis Thaxter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e80 min |  Western | 1951 | Color\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMovies with low demand and\/or out of print are manufactured-to-order using high quality recordable DVDs.

That is not a knock on Scott. It’s just that I don’t compare his movies to those made by John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart during the same period. It’s not a fair fight. The budgets and supporting cast just weren’t there for Scott. That said, I enjoy Scott’s movies and “Fort Worth” is a good one. Scott gives one of his best performances in this movie. The villain, David Brian, also gives a very good performance. Brian is so good that when he’s lying I actually find myself believing him. “Fort Worth” is a fast moving, suspenseful movie that is in my regular rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Scott Oater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFort Worth is fast-moving, well cast, well acted, and well executed all the way around. Scott actually has two different mentors, one Phyllis Thaxter’s late father and the other a high-minded newspaperman who is knifed by a thug. He uses both of them to build and transition his character in a more layered performance than typical of the normally stoic Scott. Thaxter is terrific in every scene she’s in, but better still is Brian as the magnate who persuades former boyhood friend Scott to stay in Fort Worth. He is part-villain and part-hero and extremely interesting and credible throughout. The plot is atypically complex with many threads all woven together well and wrapped up in a satisfying manner. Dick Moore (former child actor Dickie) is terrific as Scott’s newspaperman who helps Scott keep alive the spirit of Ben, their mentor publisher. The thugs are all convincingly ruthless and interesting, including Ray Teal as the leader, supported by Bob Steele, Paul Picerni, and Michael TOlan among others. The color cinematography and production values are also first-rate and the pacing is perfect.\u003cbr\u003eIf you enjoy Randolph Scott westerns, don’t miss this superior entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"GET DVD","offer_id":51475196084511,"sku":"fowor-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51475196117279,"sku":"fowor-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/Fort-Worth-rareandcollectibledvds-196_85b552b5-a2d4-4f6e-8da3-3104f6e201bc.jpg?v=1765879919","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/fort-worth-1951","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
