It’s easy to like the villains in a Ranown western. But in "Comanche Station," you don’t just like them; you feel sorry for them.

As always, the staging of extended shots is masterful in their simplicity.

The story’s not the strongest, but there are interesting shadings to Scott’s character.

Dull as paint western here about a woman who has a price on her head, mainly because her husband wants her back since she's gone missing, and the many men who fight to be the one to do so. A lot of aimless wandering, physically and plot-wise.

Randolph Scott is a frontiersman who trades cloth and a rifle for a woman kidnapped by the Commanche. Her husband has offered a large reward that attracts three drifters to their company. Another stripped-down western from the Ranown cycle. This film is all about the various character's choices, with the wrong ones punished severely. The beauty of it is you can see which decisions are coming, good or bad, and fully understand why they were made.
