The Desperadoes (1943)
Sometimes western pictures blur together, especially when they star the same leading man. There have been many times when I wonder, “Didn’t I see this John Wayne/Randolph Scott movie?” because I can’t tell based on the title (usually the name of a city) or the brief plot (a man out for revenge comes to a small western town). When you watch as many thousands of movies as I do, it’s bound to happen, no matter the genre. “Didn’t I see this Dana Andrews noir?” “This Bette Davis tearjerker seems familiar.”
The Desperadoes, a western starring Randolph Scott and Glenn Ford, slipped under my radar. I accidentally watched it twice! The leading ladies, Claire Trevor and Evelyn Keyes, aren’t my favorite, and the love triangle presented in the plot wasn’t very suspenseful. I’m not surprised that I forgot I saw it, but under normal circumstances it wasn’t good enough to watch twice.
Glenn Ford is the lead in this one, and I’m always more partial to Scottie McScottie Pants; right away, there’s a disappointment. Glenn is the fun, frisky, flirty outlaw. Scottie is the honorable, boring sheriff. Glenn comes to town to rob a bank, but it’s already been robbed so he has no choice but to stick around and hopefully stay out of trouble. If you like Glenn in his westerns, you can watch this one, but Scottie fans should stick to movies where he’s the lead.
