Firecreek (1968)


IMDb plot summary: A peace-loving, part-time Sheriff in the small town of Firecreek must take a stand when a gang of vicious outlaws takes over his town.
Directed by Vincent McEveety. Starring James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Inger Stevens, and Gary Lockwood.

James Stewart and Henry Fonda are interesting enough to keep this from being awful, but there's nothing unique or interesting about this movie. It all plays out very predictably. It kind of dances around a deeper meaning to the story but never lands on anything, and so ultimately it's a very by-the-book western, which means I'm going to forget it immediately.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Firecreek < Company (2011)
Firecreek > La Dolce Vita
Firecreek < Rio Bravo
Firecreek < Nothing Like a Dame
Firecreek > Charlie Wilson's War
Firecreek < Ted
Firecreek < Where Eagles Dare
Firecreek < The Baby-Sitters Club
Firecreek < The Love Witch
Firecreek < How to Marry a Millionaire
Firecreek < Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
Firecreek < One 2 Ka 4
Final spot: #2245 out of 3124.
