The Silver Star

This may have been the worst Western ever made. Edgar Buchanan must have been embarrassed to be a part of this disaster - he alone gave this movie what little professionalism it possessed. From a faulty storyline to a horrible script - it was painful to watch.

Lon Chaney Jr. Must also have been desperate to participate in this fiasco give the many films he completed that were classics.

The plot line was so paltry, that the viewer is actually puzzled as to the purpose of the conflict. The Sheriff's cowardice was well done - but the plot line dissolved it by simply changing scenes. The sheriff goes from coward to hero in seconds - and even when he finally acts like a sheriff he appears to be a bungling amateur.

One star is too much for a movie that throws a shadow on the two actors (Chaney and Buchanan) who were outstanding in many other films.
