Tumbleweed (1953)
7/10
The White Nag and the framed cowboy!!!
14 June 2022
Tumbleweed made part of the successful early career of the young and charismatic Audie Murphy on western, the producers put the same scope as Jim Harvey he was framed as wagon guide through the desert around the territory of native Indians the dangerous Yaqui tribe, being friend of the Chief's son named Tigre, he plans a peace meeting with the Yaqui's Chief in order to make a fair truce, without success he was captured to die on sundown, helped by Tigre's mother he escaped, after the massacre of the settlers he is wrongly accused by whole town in collusive with the Yaqui killers, imprisoned at city's jail he got escaped helped by Tigre who sadly die in the action afterwards.

Jim and his horse were wounded during the getaway, he got helped by a good rancher nearby that borrow his best horse allowed to escape by the posse, well at this point the movie had another kind of approaching, a humor-oriented treatment, actually he gets a white nag half breed horse-mule, as may seems at first look down the line to escape of those fastest thoroughbred horses of the Sheriff's sidekicks, moreover the rickety and stubborn horse overcame all steep ground leading the staggered cowboy to overhaul the early thoughts, actually Tumbleweed stolen the picture, don't miss it for nothing, assuredly directed by Nathan Juran!!!

Thanks for reading.
