WANTED DEAD or ALIVE SCREAMED THE NATION WHEN the DALTONS ROAD

Young lawyer Tod Jackson arrives in pioneer Kansas to visit his prosperous rancher friends the Daltons, just as the latter are in danger of losing their land to a crooked development company. When Tod tries to help them, a faked murder charge turns the Daltons into outlaws, but more victims than villains in this fictionalized version. Will Tod stay loyal to his friends despite falling in love with Bob Dalton's former fiancée Julie?

Action packed western about the real life Dalton gang with truth stretching of course, but that doesn’t affect the fun. Randy was certainly under used here, since he doesn’t even hold a gun during the entire film, but that makes sense since he wasn’t part of the gang. A slow start meets the half way point that marks the beginning of a 45 minute nonstop action string of set pieces that ends predictably, with the gang’s demise, and it was thrilling nonetheless. Also—the Kino Lorber print is outstanding. With this all star cast of western regulars, you need to go see it now! insert any Andy Devine quote here.
