I just watched Stage To Tucson on The Sony Movie Channel. It's set in 1861 Arizona and outlaws are stealing Butterfield stagecoaches. And they have a very unique way of doing it. The Civil War is about o begin and tensions are high between northerners and southerners. The outlaws pose as southern sympathizers. Butterfield troubleshooter Griff Holbrook arrives to investigate. He is aided by stage driver Barney Broderick and stage office manager Kate Crocker. This is a fast moving story with lots of action. The stunt work really brings it notch above the B Western. Hard riding, with closeups of the actual stars, and expert stagecoach and wagon driving at top speed. The fist fights are well done, too. Rugged Rod Cameron is well cast as Griff, as is likable Wayne Morris as Barney. Kay Buckley is Kate. She only had seven movie credits. And this is 42-year old Sally Eilers last appearance before retiring from acting. This may not be an A Western, but it's definitely a strong B+.
