Comanche Station (1960)

Directed by Budd Boetticher

As a trader who frees a woman from the Comanches and an outlaw scheming to collect the reward for her, dead or alive, Randolph Scott and Claude Akins circle each other like planets in a collapsing orbit. Comanche Station crystalizes the power of the Ranown films: Every move seems fixed, predetermined by fate but the forces propelling them grow ever more complex beneath the surface.
