The Man from Colorado (1949)
Member Rating:  
Glenn Ford is top-billed in Man From Colorado, though he's anything but a hero. Ford plays a seriously disturbed Civil War vet who kills because he enjoys killing. William Holden, Ford's army buddy, tries to stem Ford's homicidal tendencies. When Ford is appointed the "hanging" judge of a Colorado town, Holden signs on as his deputy. The final break between the two onetime friends comes when Holden casts his lot with a group of disgruntled miners whom Ford has disenfranchised. A fistfight in a burning building brings the no-nonsense Man From Colorado to a brutal conclusion. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This movie surprised me. Despite being from the notoriously milquetoast 1940s era, this movie has all the hallmarks of much more cynical modern films; crooked military, crooked friendships, untrustworthy corporations, crooked lawmen. Holden and Ford improve on their relationship (1941's "Texas). Nice acting, decent writing, believable story. This is the kind of movie Hollywood could successfully remake - the relationships drive the story, not the overall concept.
