DESCRIPTION
When the anxiously awaited posse returns with neither prisoners nor the stolen money, we learn in flashback what happened. Having been cheated by Sampson Drune, a father and his two sons have robbed him and fled. A posse led by Drune took off after them and although unwanted, the town's drunken Sheriff joined them. The Sheriff's influence on Jeb, the adopted son of Drune, was the key to Jed later revealing who killed Drune, the robbers, and what happened to the money.
Synopsis by IMDB
Though clearly filmed as a B-Western second feature, Columbia Pictures' 1953 release The Last Posse is actually a complex, action-packed and well-acted movie deserving of closer attention. Even the movie's structure is unusual for a Western; told primarily in flashback, it relates the tale of the fate of a group of men who are on the track of a gang who robbed a wealthy cattle baron. Far from the standard cardboard stereotypes, the characters in The Last Posse are variously troubled, driven, hypocritical, alcoholic, and greedy, surely a combination of vices worthy of the most convoluted big budget psychological melodrama.
The most impressive aspect of The Last Posse is its impeccable cast. Star Broderick Crawford won the Academy Award for Best Actor just a few years previously in 1949 for his role in All the King's Men and had a smash hit with the 1950 comedy Born Yesterday,John Derek began his career in the late 1940s; He also earned a reputation as the husband of beautiful women, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans and Bo Derek among them.
One of the most striking elements of The Last Posse is its crisp, evocative black and white photography, thanks to veteran cinematographer Burnett Guffey who started his career during the silent era and made distinguished contributions to over a hundred films during his career. Only a year after The Last Posse, Guffey received an Oscar® for his work on From Here to Eternity (1953), and he would go on to earn three more Academy Award nominations--The Harder They Fall (1956), Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) and King Rat (1965)--and another win for his stunning work on Bonnie and Clyde in 1967.
Nowhere was Burnett Guffey's talent more in evidence than in The Last Posse sequences filmed at and around Lone Pine, a California mountain and desert location that had long been a favorite of movie companies looking for a suitably atmospheric backdrop for their productions. Originally a small town catering to the needs of local miners, Lone Pine--situated close to Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48 States, and the scenic Mammoth Lakes area--is a High Sierra jewel with 360 degree vistas. Better yet for film producers, it's within easy driving distance of Hollywood. The most memorable natural features, perhaps, are the unusual rock formations of the nearby Alabama Hills, huge dramatic outcroppings of oxidized stone, worn by millennia of erosion, whose sometimes jagged, sometimes strangely rounded peaks have been immortalized in hundreds of features films and television shows. The vast expanses of stark desert landscape were perfect for Westerns, too, and when photographed by a master cinematographer like Burnett Guffey for The Last Posse, add much to the movie's grim melodrama. At one time there was also a nearby ranch with several appropriate movie sets including a mission, a Western street and all the horses and wagons any visiting Hollywood filmmaker could desire. The Lone Pine area is still an ideal tourist attraction for movie buffs, and the town also hosts the annual Lone Pine Film Festival every fall, honoring Westerns and Western stars who helped put the tiny town on the map.
The Last Posse is also noted for being set in a real place of some notoriety. Just six years after the outer space aliens possibly came calling in 1947, the writers of The Last Posse used Roswell, New Mexico, as the town in the movie. Now, we can't promise little green men or flying saucers buzzing the Lone Pine skyline, but if you'll settle for frontier mendacity, lots of gunplay, and an intelligent screenplay, The Last Posse is out of this world.
It's an upgrade of this one,a TV rip
