Book Reviews of The Nevadan
Book Review: "The Nevadan (1950) ... Randolph Scott ... Columbia Pictures Classic Westerns"
Summary: 5 Stars
Columbia Pictures presents "THE NEVADAN" (1950) (81 mins/Color) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Starring Randolph Scott, Dorothy Malone, Forrest Tucker, Frank Faylen & George Macready --- Directed by Gordon Douglas and released in January 11, 1950, our story line and film, U.S. Marshal Andrew Barkeley, goes undercover in a federal penitentiary to get information on $250,000 in stolen money. Barkeley arranges for the chief suspect, Tom Tanner to escape from jail, so that he can trail him to the hiding place for the loot. Complicating matters is avaricious rancher Edward Galt, who also covets the stolen cash --- Scott and Tucker have a marvelous give-and-take relationship that anticipates the rivalries to come in the Boetticher films ... Frank Faylen and Jeff Corey give colorful performances as henchmen who are brothers, and have a rivalry of their own ... Jock Mahoney has a small role, and doubles for Scott in the fight scene at the end --- Another fine production from the team of star Randolph Scott and producer Harry Joe Brown.
Under Gordon M. Douglas (Director), Harry Joe Brown (Producer), Rowland Brown (Screenwriter / Dialogue Writer), George W. George (Screenwriter), George F. Slavin (Screenwriter), Charles Lawton (Cinematographer), Arthur Morton (Composer (Music Score), Morris W.

Special footnote, George Randolph Scott better known as Randolph Scott, was an American film actor whose career spanned the sound era from the late 1920s to the early 1960s ... his popularity grew in the 1940s and 1950s, appearing in such films as "Gung Ho"! (1943) and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938); but he was especially famous for his numerous Westerns including "Virginia City" (1940) with Errol Flynn and Humphrey Bogart, "Western Union" (1941) with Robert Young and "Ride the High Country" (1962) with Joel McCrea (a coin was flipped to see whether Scott or McCrea would receive top billing, and Scott won despite having a slightly smaller role) ... his long fistfight with John Wayne in "The Spoilers" (1942) was frequently cited by critics and the press as the most thrilling ever filmed; they were fighting over Marlene Dietrich ... another smash hit film together that same year called "Pittsburgh" (1942) once again with Dietrich, Scott and Wayne --- Daniel Webster defines "Legend", as being a notable person, or the stories told about that person exploits --- well by the time Randolph Scott made his best films he had long established himself as a legend in the film industry --- they say practice makes perfect, if that is true by 1958 at 60 years of age he was the master with these oaters from the 50s ... "The Cariboo Trail" (1950), "The Nevadan" (1950), "Colt .45" (1950), "Santa Fe" (1951), "Sugarfoot" (1951), "Fort Worth" (1951), "Man in the Saddle" (1951), "Carson City" (1952), "The Man Behind the Gun" (1952), "Hangman's Knot" (1952), "Thunder over the Plains" (1953), "The Stranger Wore a Gun" (1953), "Ten Wanted Men" (1954), "Riding Shotgun" (1954), "The Bounty Hunter" (1954), "Rage at Dawn" (1955), "Tall Man Riding" (1955), "A Lawless Street" (1955), "Seven Men from Now" (1956), "Seventh Cavalry" (1956), "Decision at Sundown: (1957), "Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend" (1957), "The Tall T" (1957), "Buchanan Rides Alone" (1958), "Ride Lonesome" (1959), "Westbound" (1959), "Comanche Station" (1960) --- Scott's age seemed to matter little, they only came to see another Randolph Scott film and always got their money's worth --- Scott's films were good and getting better becoming classics --- so if you wonder "What Ever Happened To Randolph Scott", just rent or purchase one of his films and you'll see he's never left us.
