A U.S. Marshal Fighting Against an Entire Town

Although he was a notorious gunman in his early days, a man by the name of "Johnny Reno" (Dana Andrews) has since obtained a new lease on life and become a U. S. marshal intent on upholding law and order. To that effect, this film begins with him riding in the country when, quite unexpectedly, he is fired upon by two men who believe he is chasing after them. Much to their regret, neither of them turn out to be nearly as good with a gun as their intended target and as a result one of them named "Ab Conners" (Dale Van Sickel) is killed while his brother "Joe Conners" (Tom Drake) is subsequently wounded and forced to surrender. It's only then that Joe learns that Marshal Reno was going to Stone Junction on an entirely different matter and had never heard of him or his brother until that moment. That being said, having found out that Joe is wanted for murder, Marshal Reno has no choice but to take him into the nearest town where he can be bandaged before being escorted to Kansas City to stand trial. However, once he gets to Sone Junction, he finds that, rather than having his prisoner tried in a legal setting, the mayor of Stone Junction "Jess Yates" (Lyle Bettger) insists that he be lynched instead--and he is quite willing to do whatever is necessary to see that happen. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, even though it wasn't necessarily a spectacular Western by any means, it had several well-known actors like Jane Russell (as "Nona Williams"), Lon Chaney Jr. ("Sheriff Hodges") and the aforementioned Dana Andrews all performing in their usual solid manner and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

Worth a matinée

Lyle Bettger is one of those stalwarts whose names probably mean nothing to most average filmgoers but who enjoy instant recognition on the screen

Bettger was far better knows as a blond, blue-eyed villain given to exuding pathological hated... His good looks worked for him in every determined effort, even as a menacing villain with a snickering charm...

Dana Andrews plays Marshal Johnny Reno, who used to be one of the top gunfighters He just arrived with a prisoner called Joe Conners (Tom Drake) considered by the citizens of Stone Junction as a little Indian-killer

Of course the Mayor of the town Jess Yates (Buttger) assures the marshal that Conners will be given a fair trial and asked him to get out of the town fast

In spite of hearing that the lynch mob will be out there and one way or another they'll get Conners, the tough marshal tells everybody that his prisoner is in his protective custody and anybody who wants to get to him is going to have to step over his dead body

That day, the way it happenedbefore the Connors messReno was riding to see somebody he once knew, Nona Williams (Jane Russell). He knew the woman years before when he was the righteous lawman in the town where she lived He has been wearing a badge ever since Nona made a mistake and he couldn't forgive her

Lon Chaney Jr shows up as a sheriff who forgets that his job is law and order

Filmed in Technicolor and Panavision, "Johnny Reno" remains a tedious little Western worth a matinée
