Return of the Bad Men (1948)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Although not all are truths here I am not sure that Sundance or Billy ever came to Guthrie, OK But Bill Doolin is buried at the Guthrie, OK. cemetery. Summit View Cemetery and it is a summit view of the Cimarron River to the north. the territorial prison that is mentioned is still here but it was built in 1892 go to www.tourguthrie.com or www.facebook.com/tourguthrie for more on Guthrie OK.Which was created in one day. because of the 1889 Land Run Guthrie went from a population of zero to well over 12,000 that day. April 21, 1889 the time was set for 12noon for the canons to sound and at least 50,000 settlers were at the north starting point of what was Oklahoma Territory. In fact Oklahoma Territory was basically what is the center 7 counties of Oklahoma today. these were all surrounded by Indian Territories in 1889, and the center was not settled by anyone at all it was vacant. There was not even a railroad until 1887 when the railroad connected the state of Kansas to Texas at the south Canadian River just north of Purcell, OK. There is no town like Guthrie, OK. anywhere in the world the way it was settled... many movies were made about the Land Run... and Hollywood comes every year almost to make a movie because of its buildings and surroundings !

Make a Western with the iconic Randolph Scott, throw in some veteran cowboys like Gabby Hayes, Steve Brodie, Robert Ryan, Tom Tyler, Tom Keene and sprinkle in the likes of Jason Robards,Sr., Robert Armstrong and Anne Jeffreys, and how can you go wrong?Well, it ain't easy, but the bunch responsible for this dull affair did it. Apparently they bit off more than they could chew as far as the plot is concerned - there is some love interest, a little comic relief, some character study, loads of superfluous dialogue and many sidetrack plots. But the whole rationale for producing a western is the intrinsic action, which has been almost completely forgotten in this all-star potboiler. There is a good fistfight and a stagey-looking shootout towards the end but it takes too long to get there.Not really worth a look, but it's interesting to reflect on what could have been.

Two things really distinguish this otherwise typical Scott/Hayes western - Unbelievable cinematography - I cannot believe how lovingly and lushly this film was photographed - amazing evidence of how much impact cinematography alone can have on an otherwise average motion picture.The other thing is a gleefully ruthless performance by a young Robert Ryan playing The Sundance Kid as one mean, ornery sonuvabee. To say that he put a different spin on the character than Robert Redford did is putting it mildly. Robert Ryan is one of my favorite actors and there is clear evidence here that he had the goods from the very beginning. Just don't turn your back on him.This film is available as part of the Warner Archive collection and a solid addition to any Western film library.

When a ruthless gang of bank and train robbers begin terrorizing a fledgling Oklahoma countryside, a new marshall is appointed to bring them to justice. It is no easy task because the bandits consist of the infamous Doolins, Daltons, and Youngers. Particularly troublesome is the psychotic Sundance Kid, an ornery lowdown skunk if ever there was one. Just an average western with a lot of old familiar faces.
