Pony Express (1953)
9/10
stellar cast, beautiful landscape, exciting rider action
10 April 2021
I liked this action-packed story about the Pony Express, even if the authenticity of the history may be questionable. I was impressed with the cast, made up of Charlton Heston, Forrest Tucker, Rhonda Fleming, and Jan Sterling. The story dealt with problems concerning subfertuges of the underhanded crooks against it and Indians out on the plains who did not waat all to go through to Sacramento, CA. On a somewhat unrelated matter, since I as a boy always was struck by Jan Sterling, I did not like the way she was treated. (Yes, I know that's an aside.) I was really taken with those hard riders who risked their lives as they were traveling across the land, going more than half way across the USA. Yes, because of the cast and especially the riders riding their long distances, I do like this western.
