The Unforgiven (1960)



The neighbors of a frontier family turn on them when it is suspected that their adopted daughter was stolen from the local Kiowa tribe.

Large-scale, star-cast, epic Western with a blatant anti-racist message is ambitious but somehow misses the point it wants to make.

Halliwell*: "Good-looking, expensive but muddled racist Western, hard to enjoy."

Maltin***: "Gish and Bickford are outstanding in stellar-cast story, with rousing Indian attack climax."

The Twilight Zone: Mr. Denton on Doomsday (1959)



The town drunk in the old-west faces his past when Fate lends a hand.

Nicely staged Western story would have worked just as well without supernatural interference.
