Review - Vengeance Valley
Pretty good. Walker was a cowardly snake, but he's always seemed right for that sort of role.

| Description: | Owen (Burt Lancaster) was raised by Arch Strobie after Owen's parents died. Arch's son, Lee, is a spoiled jerk. Lee marries Jen (Joanne Dru), but gets Lily pregnant. Lily's brothers come to town to kill the man who soiled their sister, and Lee lets them think it was Owen. When Jen finds out, she wants nothing to do with Lee. Lee talks Arch into giving him half-ownership of the ranch. He plans to sell the cattle and take off with the money. He knows Owen won't let him get away with it, so he conspires with Lily's brothers to kill Owen. Owen manages to kill one of the brothers, and some of his riders kill the other. Owen chases down Lee and demands that he confesses to Arch, but Lee tries to kill him. Owen kills him instead. It's implied at the end that Owen and Jen get together and that one of Owen's riders marries Lily. |
