Red Mountain

Stained by the Blood of the West’s Greatest Heroes! From William Dieterle, the acclaimed director of Portrait of Jennie, Rope of Sand and Dark City, comes a rip-roaring Technicolor western with the all-star lineup of Alan Ladd (Shane), Lizabeth Scott (Desert Fury), Arthur Kennedy (Bend of the River) and John Ireland (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral). In the waning days of the Civil War, a rebel captain (Ladd) flees to Colorado to join a band of Southern mercenaries led by the bloodthirsty General Quantrill (Ireland). Along the way he drags an innocent gold-prospecting couple (Kennedy and Scott) into danger when the husband is accused of murder. Packed with fast-paced cavalry action, thrilling shootouts, a rousing Franz Waxman (Botany Bay) score and colorful Charles Lang (The Magnificent Seven) cinematography, Red Mountain is a glittering gem of a western!
