STAMPEDE

Cinemavixion Review

Released in 1936, 'Stampede' is a briskly paced Western that stars the reliable Charles Starrett as a man on a mission for justice. Directed by Ford Beebe, the film follows Stevens (Starrett), a determined cowboy who uncovers a sinister plot to seize the Milford ranch by preventing cattle buyers from reaching the property. When a determined buyer, Larry Carson, arrives and narrowly escapes assassination attempts, he becomes entangled in the mystery. The narrative takes an interesting turn when a captured henchman reveals the true culprit, leading Carson to a crucial piece of evidence hidden within the antagonist's safe. While the film may not boast the grand scale of later Westerns, its tight storytelling and Starrett's solid performance make it a noteworthy entry in the genre, offering a compelling tale of revenge and uncovering deceit in the rugged American West.
