OVERLOOKED FILM: RAGE AT DAWN (1955)

Here's an oater with Randolph Scott, Forrest Tucker, and Mala Powers.  J. Carroll Nash, Edgar Buchanan, and Denver Pyle play supporting roles.  Helmed by Tim Whelan, the film was scripted by Horace McCoy from a story by Frank Gruber.

Scott plays James Barlow, a private detective who goes undercover in 1866 Indiana to stop the Reno Brothers gang.  There's also a Reno sister, and Barlow falls for her.  Uh-oh.

    That's an excellent literary pedigree, at very least. Tucker probably better at this than comedy?

    Love Randolph Scott but don't remember this one. Nice pedigree though.
