La Piste rouge

I caught this rare item from a 16mm print, not very good, but I don't care. It is a good time waster without any surprises, with Jock Mahoney in a predictable role. A western as you have seen a thousand times before, with plenty of action, a bit romance and that's all. It was not produced by Columbia Pictures and their infamous Sam Katzman, Columbia where Sears made most of his career. He was not a bad director, but the producers whith whom he had to deal over the years prevented him to show better skills. He made many westerns and thrillers but only EARTH VS FLYING SAUCERS - a science fiction film - brought him fame.
