Product Description

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.

When I saw that some reviewers said they received the wrong movie, I was a little concerned that I wouldn't receive the correct film. I was delighted when I popped the disc into the player and saw it was indeed Joel McCrea's Stranger on Horseback. Wonderful Joel movie and glad to have it on DVD.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2015

Joel McCrea is an actor who proved to portray the good old west with upstanding & GOD fearing values. Values that allow us to take necessary steps to stop someone from hurting or even killing us &/or our families. This movie presents such a different way we once lived. Justice unfortunately does not always prevail but in the movie land kingdom, I believe, it should. We don't, or should I say I & my family don't go to the movies to see more of the disgusting injustice we now have. Going to the movies used to be a kind of getting away for as brief a moment in time as it could. Where right wins out over evil. I won't disappoint & tell how this movie ends as you might be surprised, especially the way I have just expressed my beliefs. All in all, however the ending, you will see superb acting with a great & simple story line. Yes, I Highly recommend Joel McCrea movies, such as this one.

The Tourneur Touch

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

STRANGER ON HORSEBACK is the least known of Jacques Tourneur's westerns, which include two other Joel McCrea vehicles, WICHITA and STARS IN MY CROWN (not really a western in my view, but widely regarded as such), and the justly celebrated CANYON PASSAGE. The tightly-constructed story involves a circuit-riding judge with high standards of personal and public behavior faced with some difficult decision-making when he runs up against the renegade son of a too-powerful rancher. This is one of the best examples of the way Tourneur uses windows and doors as referents for different planes of vision and passages between diverse systems of moral value. This disk appears to have been reproduced from a television broadcast, and isn't as pretty as the film deserves, but for now it's all we've got and we're sure lucky to have it.

I didn't realize it at the time, but this is just what I was waiting for. a good, old-fashioned, western. good guys, bad guys, smart guys, dumb guys, fighting and feuding. just the ticket. add fine acting, direction and script. the wonderful cast included john mc intire, roy Roberts, dabs greer, Nancy gates, john carradine, emile meyer and a young kevin mc carthy all led by a master of his western craft, joel mc crea.

A bit mild for the Old West

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

Since I'm a Louis L'Amour junkie, any book [he] writes that is converted to film, I want for my collection. Always liked Joel McCrea's acting, but when you have seen Louis L'Amour films starring Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott as the main characters, this film pales. I took into consideration the year it was made plus how the writers of that time interpreted the book for the screen. As compared to the realism of what the west and cowboys were really like as portrayed in films with Selleck and Elliot - dirty streets, dirty cowboys and rugged attitutes and action, I was a bit bored by the lack of realism in the film. It was a bit mild mannered and pristine. If you're a Joel McCrea fan, you'll at least like watching the film because he's the hero.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 31, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is another very hard to find Western, and it's one of the joys of Amazon (and other sites) that you can get films like this. I haven't seen it for 50 years or so. It's a cracking little film with Mcrea at his best. The sheer pleasure I got from seeing the British Board Film Ceensors logo come up was just the beginning. Short (66') but trim well acted, this doesn't disappoint. The quality is fine given the difficulty of finding material (from the BFI no less!)If you love Westerns and McRea, well, Go for it.

So this is where Luke Perry's horse riding , gun toting judge comes from , original is always the best in most cases , Joel McCrea was always a hard act to follow , and this film shows off his acting talent s to another degree

REMARQUABLE ETUDE DE CARACTERES

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on May 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Un juge fédéral , Joel McCrea , vient exercer dans une petite ville tenue par un clan familial et découvre un meurtre impuni commis par le fils du chef du clan . Le juge découvre peu à peu l'inconscience criminel du coupable et veut le faire juger malgré l'opposition de sa famille mais les mentalités évoluent dont la cousine du coupable après l'avoir vu causer la mort d'un témoin et se met du coté du juge. De très beaux paysages , des chevauchées et un final inattendu font un western très intéressant de part l'évolution des mentalités dont le chef du clan qui finit par accepter la culpabilité de son fils.
