Movies directed by Edwin L. Marin

Tall in the Saddle (1944)

87 mins     Western      

"Tall in the Saddle" is a fascinating western for completely different reasons than it should be. You see "Tall in the Saddle" is a typical b-movie western, good guy rides in to town and a whole lot of trouble with rustlers a...

Johnny Angel (1945)

79 mins     Crime, Drama      

"Johnny Angel" starts of surprisingly good, we have the image of the abandoned boat in the fog and a few scenes later when Johnny searches the ship in dock there is great use of light and shadow to make for some great film-no...

Nocturne (1946)

87 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

"Nocturne" starts with a clever scene, a camera shot taking us from an aerial shot of a city before rolling in down a hill and seemingly through the window of a flashy apartment where a composer is at his piano. It is for me ...

Lady Luck (1946)

97 mins     Comedy      

Lady Luck: Robert Young stars as the gambler who turns over a new leaf for love but trying to do a guy a good turn leads to confusion and big trouble with his girl...

Fighting Man of the Plains (1949)

94 mins     Western      

"Fighting Man of the Plains" has one of the best openings I have ever come across from a western made before 1950. We have an abrupt murder scene as Dancer first tries to intervene when Evelyn is being harassed by a member of...

Canadian Pacific (1949)

95 mins     Western      

I am sure if I could be bothered I could look through Randolph Scott's portfolio of westerns and find at least a handful of movies which see him working for someone building a railroad, putting in a telegraph line or some oth...

Colt .45 (1950)

74 mins     Western      

Great Scott, no I am not on about the performance of Randolph Scott in 50s western "Colt .45" but about the storyline because it is one of the most convoluted western movies I have come across even for the 50s. This is a west...

The Cariboo Trail (1950)

81 mins     Western      

The Cariboo Trail (1950) Randolph Scott and Bill Williams star as cowboys in search of their fortune in ranching and prospecting but end up at war after a stampede leads to ijury...

Sugarfoot (1951)

80 mins     Western      

To call "Sugarfoot" just average is not an insult as at just 80 minutes this is your stereotypical western which filled the big screen during the 50s. It features Randolph Scott playing the handsome stranger who comes to a sm...

Fort Worth (1951)

90 mins     Western      

Read all about, Randolph Scott plays a journalist, well a journalist who is a former gun man who ends up in his home town where a gang is causing trouble and an old friend could be in cahoots with them in order to buy up land...
