A Lawless Street (1955)

 A marshal progressively realizes that the assassination attempts against him are not a simple case of revenge. Two of the town's citizens see him as an obstacle in a get-rich-quick scheme of theirs.

The main plot idea for this movie must be an extremely common one: this is the third movie I saw only this year which uses it! Basically, there is a mine and some crooked (though apparently law abiding) citizens need to get rid of some people in order to cash in on the upcoming boom. In this one, the writers apparently collected every single Western cliché into a single movie. But it has some degree of watchability, thanks to a well organized script and a decent execution.

Rating: 36
