Shoot-Out At Medicine Bend, One of the more minor-key of Randolph Scott’s late 50’s Westerns, with frequent era collaborator Budd Boetticher nowhere in sight. The more standard filming style is evident, but Scott offers his traditional dependable portrayal, and the film is of interest for the early big-screen work of James Garner and Angie Dickinson. Has some good action scattered throughout.

Storyline
Shoot-Out At Medicine Bend Army veterans, just mustered out of the service, are going to the one of the men’s brothers ranch on their way West. Just as they arrive, Indians attack the ranch and kill the brother. The brother was killed because he was using faulty ammunition that did not fire. Buck Devlin, whose brother was killed, musters out of the service with pals John and Wilbur and vows to find the men responsible for the crime.
It does what it says on the tin
With a title like “Shoot-out at Medicine Bend” you know exactly what you’re going to get. This is a thoroughly likable B-Western with Randolph Scott, a young James Garner and Gordon Jones as ex-army buddies trying to find out who robbed them, (when they were doing a bit of skinny-dipping), aka the goodies and James Craig, Myron Healey, John Alderson and sundry others as the baddies. There isn’t really much plot; it’s really just the good guys vs the bad guys and that’s it but it’s exciting and quite funny. The females involved are a young Angie Dickinson, cast here as the ‘nice’ girl and Dani Crayne, the saloon singer. Richard L Bare is the director and he doesn’t waste a single shot.
Good minor-key Scott Western of interest for early Garner
Dani Crayne
