Interesteg What makes it different from others?

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

bsmith5552 "Buchanan Rides Alone" was the fourth of seven films made between 1956-60 starring Randolph Scott and directed by famed director Budd Boetticher. As the title suggests, Scott plays yet another loner with no family ties.Tom Buchanan (Scott) is a soldier of fortune fighting in Mexico in order to earn a stake to stock his small ranch in West Texas. He arrives in the small border town of Agry Town on the U.S./ Mexican border. He is carrying with him $2,000 which he has earned in Mexico.The town is controlled by the Agry brothers. Judge Amos Agry (Tol Avery)and the sheriff Lew Agry (Barry Kelley). Amos Agry (Peter Whitney) is the simple minded brother who acts as a hotel clerk and Simon's son Roy (William Leslie) is a womanizing hot head. Carbo (Craig Stevens) is Simon's "bodyguard" who keeps a cool head midst the double dealings between Simon and Lew.Roy rides frantically into town with visible markings on his face. Tom and Roy have words just as a young Mexican Juan de la Vega (Manuel Rojas) rides in in pursuit of Roy. Juan shoots Roy and is taken by Lew's men. A scuffle ensues and Tom comes to Juan's aid. Both men are arrested and charged with Roy's murder. Tom is 'relieved of his money belt by Lew. Lew meanwhile, is ready to lynch both when Simon races in to stop the lynchings. Carbo had convinced Simon that a lynching would be bad for his political aspirations.Tom is found innocent and is sent packing, escorted by Lew's deputies Pecos (L.Q. Jones) and Lafe (Don C. Harvey), who have orders to kill Buchanan. Pecos and Tom become friendly, both coming from the same part of Texas. Pecos saves Tom's life by killing Lafe. Tom then offers the likable Pecos a piece of his ranch.Juan, meanwhile, is sentenced to hang. Before the sentence can be carried out, Carbo convinces Simon to demand a $50,000 ransom from Juan's father, a wealthy Mexican rancher (whom we never see). Courier Gomez (Joe De Santis) returns with the money and Lew plans to get the money for himself.Lew sends Juan along with his deputies led by Waldo (Robert Anderson) to an isolated shack. Unfortunately, Buchanan and Pecos are already there. They tie up the deputies and take Juan away telling him to flee to his home. However Waldo and the others manage to escape and follow. Tom believing Pecos and Juan are safe, returns to Agry. Waldo kills Pecos and re-captures Juan, bringing him back to town.Lew then begins to negotiate with Gomez for the ransom but is prevented from doing so and....................................................As in other entries in the series, there are sympathetic villains. Buchanan becomes fond of Pecos to the point of taking him on as a partner. Although more self-serving, the gunman Carbo and Buchanan develop a mutual respect for each other. And, there is no real leading lady in this one. Watch for western veterans Terry Frost and Riley Hill as members of the jury at Juan and Tom's trial.Another great little western from Scott and Boetticher..

mallettes-1 Of all the classic Randolph Scott/Budd Boetticher, this is, by far, the worse! The story makes no sense at all! Every single character behave or react in the most stupid manner, contrary to all logic. Believable storytelling has no place here.Not helping at all, Randolph Scott grins like an idiot, like a Steve Martin caricature would, all through this topsy-turvy plot that would put most comedic plays from the french "theatre de boulevard" to shame.And the worse part is, its not suppose to be funny....I can't believe the same people that did SEVEN MEN FROM NOW, THE TALL T, and DECISION AT SUNDOWN, were also responsible for this Z-Western! Stay away from this one.

bkoganbing Soldier of fortune and jack of all trades Randolph Scott rides in from Mexico to the border town of Agryville which is run by three brothers, all greedy and of varying intelligence. Judge Tol Avery, Sheriff Barry Kelley and hotel owner Peter Whitney. They are three really low specimens of humanity, only differing in their type of depravity.They've got another young Agry in William Leslie who is Avery's son, a real punk who gets killed by Manuel Rojas in a gunfight. But with the town being named Agryville Rojas is not exactly assured due process and when Scott steps in to keep the Agrys and their hired guns from beating Rojas to death, he gets arrested as well as an accomplice.But these Agrys are a really scurvy lot and Avery decides there's more money to be made by ransoming off Rojas to his father who is a rich Mexican don. And he's not going to cut in his brothers. So this Agry family double dealing is what gets Scott free and of course the cowboy hero does what a cowboy hero always does.Buchanan Rides Alone is probably one of the weaker of the Randolph Scott-Budd Boetticher films, it could have used a lot better script. Still Scott is his usual heroic self and he's got a touch of humor in this one. In fact the business where you see all the town businesses with the Agry name on it, must have inspired Mel Brooks to use Johnson on all establishments in Blazing Saddles.There are two other prominent roles, Craig Stevens who works for Avery, but plays a lone hand and L.Q. Jones in one of his earliest roles as a young cowboy who proves to be a friend indeed for Randolph Scott.For fans of Randolph Scott and good B westerns.

butchfilms This is one of the best westerns I have ever seen, I have seen many Randolph Scott's B westerns which I found just OK, but this one is very entertaining and with interesting characters too. I think "Buchanan Rides Alone" deserves 8.5 stars.The plot is very good and it has some interesting little turns, Randolph Scott is the lead in here but the supporting cast gets a lot of time on screen too, I would have liked to see more of the Abe Carbo character and I think that the little role of Barbara James as Nina the judge's Mexican housekeeper could have been better exploited. The time fly by very fast maybe because it only last 78 min, but I think that this film deserved to last at least 20 minutes more because the plot and the characters had the potential for much more. The action scenes are good . This is an underrated movie that deserves better recognition, it must be at least a cult movie.Tom Buchanan is a gunman who is returning to his home in Texas after having earned a lot of money fighting in the Mexico Revolution but he will find troubles for helping a Mexican who was getting a beating in a California town that is run by the 3 Agry brothers...................I recommend this movie to all of you who are fans of western films, you wont regret it.
