Review of Forty Guns

Forty Guns (1957)
1/10
200 Guns Wouldn't Help Here 1/2*
20 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Definitely one of the worst westerns ever made, it's even on par with 5 Card Stud.

The writing here is absolutely pathetic and you wonder how Stanwyck, Sullivan and others allowed themselves to be in such an awful movie.

The 40 Guns has absolutely no relevance here. The plot is pathetically drawn. Let's hear about the deputy stealing mail, and the obsessive relationship between Stanwyck and her brother.

Instead, we are subjected to ruffians shooting up a town, and shots being fired all over the place. It's a wonder that more people didn't drop from all the firing.

What is the meaning of this picture? Who wrote such garbage?
