Cheyenne (1947)

This review is on Cheyenne from 1947 which stars: Dennis Morgan, Jane Wyman, Janis Paige, Bruce Bennett, Alan Hale Sr., Arthur Kennedy and is directed by Raoul Walsh.

Gambler-on-the-run James Wylie (Dennis Morgan) knows a good deal when he sees one. So when he’s offered his freedom in exchange for capturing the holdup man known as the Poet, Wylie heads to Cheyenne, where the bandit’s said to be forming a gang. Posing as the outlaw, he meets up with the Poet’s wife (Jane Wyman), who also claims to want him arrested. But when she warns her husband the law’s closing in, the desperado (Bruce Bennett) plans to outwit them both by ditching his bride for a dancehall girl (Janis Paige) and having Wylie lynched in his place.

This is a Warner Archive release and has pretty good video and audio quality. The film is presented in b&w, full screen and runs for about 99mins (1hr 39mins).

I would give this film a 7/10 and the DVD a 3/5. Overall this is a good DVD release and is a film I recommend.
