Review of Drango

Drango (1957)
4/10
Original Django movie?

Warning: Spoilers
I know that "Drango" was sometimes translated as "Django", so I wonder if this could be considered the original Django film? At any rate, it's not very memorable.... the script is pretty good, it opens with a rousing but typical Western ballad, and some good scenes setting up the action with Drango's (Jeff Chandler) interaction with the recently "liberated" Southerners, but the film meanders until it's really nothing better than any other B oater. Chandler's performance is dull, and this is the main cause of the film's lack of luster. Julie London provides some good character moments, but her character almost seems to be coming from another film.
