Emboscados tras la ley

A great movie that twists and turns as the characters in the movie are confronted with opportunity, regret, revenge, loyalty (or lack of).

It pumps along at a great pace, providing entertainment all the way.

Murphy's wife in this movie may be the 'pointy-est' woman I have ever seen in the old west (you will see what I mean lol) a miracle that no one loses an eye!

Lots of fun...enjoy :)

This universal western holds a special place in my heart as it was the first Audie Murphy film I saw. That was back in 1985 on LWT ( London channel) and boy was I hooked.

Audie plays an ex-Texas ranger, now a farmer, who ends up joining a posse to catch his former friend, who was once was married to Audie's character's wife and is the father of Audie's stepson. The friend played by McGavin wants Audie dead but he hasn't got a chance, not with greedy posse - who have an eye on the stolen money - and the mauraudin' Apaches in the way.

Bullet for a Badman is a well-paced western, full of action, but it's countered with good characterisation. It's very much traditional, which by then was becoming anachronism, but it's a great example of the genre. The dialogue was really engaging and humorous. McGavin had good lines and Audie acted really well, underplaying with that smooth tight-lipped style.

In tis Western AudieMurphy is a rancher and former Texas Ranger charged with bringing in Darren McGavin the lone survivor of a gang that robbed a bank. Wounded McGavin got away with the loot

The posse Murphy winds up with is one motley crew, a scurvy a lot as you'd come across. Bringing McGavin back Murph has as much to fear from them as he does from the Apaches they run into,

McGavin was a Texas Ranger who did turn outlaw. He was also at one time married to Murphy's wife Beverley Owen and Murphy is raising Kevin Tate who is McGavin's son as his own.

Lots of tension and action in this western. A lot of familiar faces in this cast. A standout performance is that of Ruta Lee as the outlaw moll. She's one cynical lady who takes life as it comes.

A good one fom Audie Murphy.

Audie Murphy unusually starts out as a mild-mannered homebody, but sure enough soon has to strap on his guns again as part of a posse which as led by Skip Homier are an even uglier bunch than desperado Darren McGavin's gang; with nobody daring to turn their back on anyone.

Ruta Lee makes a feisty moll to McGavin.

This low life actor that calls himself darren mc gavin ruins every scene he's in by stealing the spotlight but it doesn't work on audie murphy who puts him in his place ... night stalker indeed ... murphy always conducts himself with ease
