The Burning Hills

SINOPSIS

This minor western stars Tab Hunter as a farmer seeking vengeancel after his brother is murdered on the orders of a ruthless rancher. Natalie Wood plays the Mexican/American girl who nurses him when he's shot. Casting these two young and pretty things to star in a western was unusual in those days, a studio ploy to lure teenagers away from their dance halls and TV sets. Consequently, Hunter takes off his shirt while Wood takes on an interesting accent. Hunter proves himself a rather anaemic hero, though his popularity later gained him his own TV show. In the 1980s, he was resurrected in several camp comedies starring alongside Divine.
