Der Siebente ist dran

INHALT

John Wayne's production company made this modestly budgeted Randolph Scott western and it turned out so well that the Duke wished he'd starred in it himself. Burt Kennedy's lean script has Scott grimly tracking down the seven men who killed his wife during a hold-up, with Lee Marvin's gunman following close behind hoping to grab the loot that they've hidden. Wayne gave his former Angel and the Badman co-star Gail Russell the female lead. Director Budd Boetticher makes terrific use of outdoor settings and he, Scott and Kennedy teamed up on three more outstanding westerns: The Tall T, Ride Lonesome and Comanche Station.
