Station West (1948)
8/10
An unusual western
4 November 2018
That's the only western Sidney Landfield made for the big screen; He was after all a comedy, musical specialist. Even if he brought us a terrific Sherlock Holmes film with HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES; the best adaptation so far, better than the Terry Fisher's one. The other reviewers are right, that's a detective story made in a western set. And no one seems to have noticed that the music score looks like the awesome Dimitri Tiomkin's one: remember HIGH AND THE MIGHTY. Not entirely of course, but I am sure that Tiomkin was inspired by this score.
