All Right, Be A Stranger

Marty Robbins shows up to help Chill Wills and his grand daughter, Dovie Beams, keep their ranch, despite the local land baron, his henchmen and the local banker.

It has all the earmarks of a vanity project for singer-songwriter Robbins, who sings the title song and about the one-hour mark, starts to sing a few songs in concert with his henchmen. Wills is there to attract the B-western fans in the audience, but his ability to speak a line makes everyone else look poor. Despite some attractive shooting locations -- Old Tucson, the Superstition Mountains area -- Donald H. Birnkrant shoots the actors, most of whom aren't worth it.

Robbins had a long and successful career in music, but trying to make a B western star of him in the 1970s was a futile and ridiculous effort.
