Member Rating:

In this Western drama, Steve Upton (Randolph Scott) is the sheriff of a Utah community in 1860. Upton's best friend, Cheyenne Rogers (Glenn Ford), was once an outlaw, but under Steve's guidance, he's gone straight and tries to earn an honest living. However, while Cheyenne is in town to pay Upton a visit, the local bank is robbed and Cheyenne is the prime suspect. Through Cheyenne is quickly convicted, Upton is convinced his friend is innocent, and the sheriff helps the former outlaw break out of jail; together, they hit the trail trying to find the real culprits and clean up the town. The Desperadoes had the distinction of being the first Technicolor feature released by Columbia Pictures. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

WE ENJOYED THE MOVIE AND WISH THEY WOULD GO BACK TO MAKING SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING.

The basic premise is good and the stars do a good job, but the story lacks heart. I found myself unable to care about any of the characters and their actions were not believable. Worst of all it seemed as though the director couldn't make up his mind whether he was trying for a western or a western comedy. Worth watching, but not a keeper.
