THE BRASS LEGEND (1956) ([url]http://imdb.com/title/tt0049029/[/url]) - This one stars Hugh O'Brian and Raymond Burr. An outlaw presumed dead returns to town and is seen by a local boy. The boy tells the sheriff played by O'Brian and the sheriff wisely catches him off guard and takes him in to be sentenced, but his gang is lurking about town. The boy gets shot and the outlaw played by Burr escapes were the Sheriff meets up with him to a gun duel on horseback as if they were jousting. The film is shot like a TV Western which isn't bad, but you can see it clearly. Always good to see Raymond Burr in a film.

(6 out of 10 Stars)  :thumbup: Not bad

It might look like a TV western, because Hugh O'Brian had already starred in  television's "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" for a year, and while Raymond Burr wouldn't appear in television's "Perry Mason" for another year, he had already done alot of television work. And while Raymond Burr is, perhaps, best known as the heroic Perry Mason, he was one of the great film villains as well. For example, catch him as the villain in one of Vincent Price's best films, "His Kind of Woman."
