Stranger On Horseback (1955) | Full Movie

#judge #witness #justice #tenaatv
Joel McCrea brings law and order to the range in Stranger on Horseback. McCrea portrays a circuit judge Richard Thorne, who comes to a small western town in the course of making his rounds. There he finds the town and surrounding area under the feudal thumb of an old-line family headed by Josiah Bannerman (John McIntire). Despite wholehearted opposition and obstacles, Thorne fingers Bannerman's spoiled son, Tom (Kevin McCarthy) for murder and smokes out the necessary frightened witnesses and defies the whole clan by seeing that justice is done. In doing so he even wins the grudging respect of the old cattle baron, gains the love of the latter's strong-willed niece, Amy (Miroslava Stern), and awakens the sheriff (Emile Meyer) to a new sense of duty.

As a western addict since childhood (almost) I am happy to recommend this film to fellow western lovers. Especially as John Carradine appears. England, January, 2024.

[@trudymccann3671]

I started reading Western's as a 12 year old, Max Brand, Zane Grey, etc. This is a Classic I had never seen or heard before, true quality script. Unique twists and turns, good Movie. Thank You!

[@norahs104]

Joel McCrea what a fine actor, I would watch him all day

[@danod201143]

I was pleased to read a piece wherein Joel McCrea decided to continue his career in only WESTERNS.

For people who don't understand (see comments below), this movie was about principles not outcomes. It's principles of fairness and justice and that the rule of law supercedes feelings and loyalties, principles that are hard to find today where people too often just want what they want and will lie and bully others to get their way.

[@jimcrawford3185]

Principles are for those who can afford them

Enjoyed this movie, I was a bit surprised that Justice was serviced without the Judge being killed. Not today! 👍🏾🧐🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏾

[@TrustJesusToday]

Terrific western. Joel McCrea was perfect as a circuit judge. The climax reminds me of True Grit... Rooster vs. the bad guys. McIntyre is a winner as antagonist.

[@estelleadamski308]

just seeing the wonderful locations where the movies were filmed is an eyeopener, too. Nothing like the American West. My ancestors were Homesteaders, Pioneers, & Cowboys in Kansas. A hard life, but, they prospered. Maybe you can visit one day.

Joel McCrea a great western hero. Glad that Peckinpah realized it and had him in the Ride the High Country, one of the best westerns ever made.

[@MOGGS1942]

Agreed. McCrea and Randolph Scott were perfect.

[@user-tg3tj2nq6v]

@@MOGGS1942 I have to say I do not really like the westerns of Randolph Scott (with one or two exceptions), I find them too soft and he lacks the authority of other western actors. But yes, in the Ride the High Country he is excellent.

McCrea was excellent as judge in this remarkable old classic. Out of context, I do like 'The Big Country'...

The story for this movie was written by Louis L’Amour (1907-1988), quite possibly the greatest western novelist of the 20th century. He was best known for his series of novels featuring the Sackett family, and quite a few novels were filmed for the silver screen and the television screen, including the two-part television mini-series THE SACKETTS (1979) with Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott and the television movie CONAGHER (1991) with Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross.

The cattle king of Australia could travel from the bottom of South Australia, to the Gulf in Queensland, and not get off his own land. Australia is virtually the same area as North America, so it is not small. Quite a feat a hundred years ago, to own roughly that many properties.. His name was Sydney Kidman. If he had been over a place he never forgot it. One of his Stations, Durham Downs, in the channel country, was 4000 square miles. This is by no means the biggest Station over here, but it gives you an idea .

Going by what goes in the US today probably not. If you have family or friends in high places you can get away with anything

[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

However good his (Joel McCrea) westerns are, for me no other of his films can top "Fort Massacre"(1958) For it's more than a western, a great war movie comparable to "The Steel Helmet"(1951) & "Pork Chop Hill"

[@tenaatv]

Nice comment, noted!

[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

@@tenaatv I saw "Fort Massacre" twice in theaters in my SE Asian country.. The 1st time in 1962 & I was sorely perplexed by its bleakness. The 2nd time in 1966, & I understood it as a true war movie & no longer a "cowboys - Indians" western. Joel McCrea and John Russell delivered absolutely !

Great movie with solid cast depicting the age old battle between right and wrong. On another note, my soon to be 90 y.o. mother told me that in her day, only prostitutes wore lipstick and plastered gobs of make-upon themselves like they portray most of the women in this movie and others. And people believe that all this loose portrayal of women was for lighting purposes. Now, that s funny. 🙏

[@adrianovasconcelos2739]

Very good Western up to the last 10 min, then it becomes unbelievable. The open endiing does nor help, and the 65' length makesv this film hard to classify: B in terms of length but first class as far as direction and acting are concerned.
