Der große Zug nach Santa Fe (1951)

Der große Zug nach Santa Fe: Directed by Kurt Neumann. With Joel McCrea, Dean Stockwell, Chill Wills, Leon Ames. A cowboy finds the spoiled son of a railroad magnate lost in the deserted hills and teaches him survival skills and hard work values.

“This a neat, colourful u0026quot;Captains Courageousu0026quot; variation, with veteran Joel McCrea and youngster Dean Stockwell combining really well. The moralising and the sentimentality are underplayed and the action is excitingly staged by underrated director Kurt Neumann (even if some of the u0026#39;wild horseu0026#39; scenes are taken from an earlier Universal-International western – directed by George Sherman – called u0026quot;Red Canyonu0026quot;). All in all this 78 minute oater is well worth catching.”
