Review of Tumbleweed

Tumbleweed (1953)
5/10
Another Familiar Trail....

Audy Murphy was always good at what he did and carries this oater along its familiar ground. The story is patchy and was given a far better treatment in 1948 with the more interesting "Relentless" (recommend this one in preference) The IB Technicolor that Universal often used is superb, as is the classy Cinematography by Award-winner Russel Metty ( Spartacus '60, The Misfits '61, A Woman's Vengeance '48). The cast are OK with some exceptions but the unusual horse offers the best element of interest.

There are far better Murphy westerns out there but those not overly demanding may enjoy this - if nothing better on offer.
