Johnny Reno (1966)

Rent movies when the leads are younger instead
28 August 2018
In this late sixties western, Dana Andrews plays the title character who's forced back into town to face his demons and save an innocent man's life. That sounds a lot better than it is, trust me. And, since that doesn't even sound very good, I'm telling you to skip this one.

If the two leads were recast, this could have been just your average B-western with nothing memorable and only available on reruns on late-night television. There are cheesy bad guys, shootouts, saloons, horses, and barroom brawls-everything you expect and get out of a western. But, since Dana Andrews and his lady love Jane Russell have a few miles on them, it's a little bit sad to watch this movie. They aren't nearly as beautiful and fun to watch as they were when they were younger, so you're much better off renting movies from ten or fifteen years ago. I got a bit of a lump in my throat seeing them this way, so I wouldn't recommend it.
