Slaughter Trail (1951)

78 mins Western

That synopsis for "Slaughter Trail" is about as generic as they come with its tale of Indian trouble and outlaws. And on one level "Slaughter Trail" is generic with familiar actors such as Andy Devine cropping up in some ster...

Young at Heart (1954)

113 mins Drama, Musical, Romance

It would be fair to say that a lot of Doris Day movies work to a formula and as such a typical Doris Day movie has an almost painted by numbers feel to it. One Doris Day movie which doesn't, which feels quite original is "You...
