Featured review
Neat western done on location
Harry Cohn decided to splurge a little by doing this modest B western on location. Some nice desert vistas and a decent plot characterize Relentless done by Columbia.
Relentless has Robert Young determined to clear his name after being accused of murdering a pair of old prospectors for their gold claim. It was Barton MacLane who did it and it's MacLane that's Young is after. Cutting themselves in is gambler Akim Tamiroff and his associate Mike Mazurki. After Young is the law represented by Willard Parker who would later star in Tales Of The Texas Rangers on television. Helping Young is itinerant peddler Marguerite Chapman.
There's also a bit more plot to this one than in a normal B western. Young who was primarily a light leading man who never got in the way of MGM's female stars could also turn in a serious performance when he would get the role. Young ran the gamut of emotions here, tender when taking a bullet out of a burro and almost sadistic in a shootout with Barton MacLane.
No traditional western stars so to speak, but western fans will definitely like Relentless.
