COMANCHE STATION  (1960)  ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Budd Boetticher
    Randolph Scott, Nancy Gates, Claude Akins,
    Skip Homeier, Richard Rust, Dyke Johnson
Randolph Scott plays a retired cavalry officer who rescues a white woman from a band of renegade Comanches and then has to deal with three outlaws who decide to tag along on the long ride back into town. A good, spare western, the last collaboration between Boetticher and Scott, and Scott's next-to-last movie. Claude Akins plays the outlaw leader, a role Lee Marvin or Richard Boone might've played in previous Scott/Boetticher films.
