Wagon Master" (1950)
- Ben Johnson, Harry Carrey jr. Ward Bond
Plot Synopsis: IMDB: A group of Mormons hoping to found a new colony in the trackless San Juan River country hire horse traders Travis and Sandy as wagonmaster and guide. One attraction for Sandy is "redheaded gal" Prudence. Soon they're joined by Doc Hall's broken down medicine show, with "scarlet women" Denver and Fleuretty. Then the Clegg boys, slightly psycho outlaws, decide a Mormon wagon train will make ideal camouflage.
Phantom's Review: While not one of John Ford's classics, this is still an entertaining little movie. Nice performances by stars Johnson and Carrey Jr, and a terrific job by the great Ward Bond. Plenty of action and fun. "Gunsmoke" fans may want to see this film to see a very young James Arness as one of the villains.
