Greetings to all of you fans of the western movie genre. Just a quick shout out to you all inviting you to attend the last SRPC Cowboy Movie Night of the winter.
This week's movie is a 1948 Black and White classic entitled, "
Yellow Sky." The feature stars Gregory Peck, Anne Baxter, Richard Widmark and quite a few recognizable character actors.
The story line follows a surly gang led by Gregory Peck. They hold up a bank and escape across a desert. Suffering from severe thirst, they stumble across an abandoned mining town. An old man and his grand daughter are the only two inhabitants left in town. Why are they still living in the town? It seems that the pair stayed behind and continued to mine for gold in the hope of finding a new vein of gold. When the gang realizes that the pair have saved up a small forturne with the possibility of more, gang cohesion begins to crack and the fun begins.
If you get past the film's opening credit stating, "The West 1867" then notice a plethora of 1873 Colt Pecemakers, you will enjoy the movie.
Looking forward to seeing a few cowboys at this final showing. Running time is 1 hour 38 minutes.
Directed by William A. Wellman.
Running time: 98 minutes
Movie begins at 6:30 PM at the clubhouse.
