Hell Bent for Leather (1960)

*mild spoilers ahead*

 A man (Santell) is attacked in the desert by a fugitive (Travers) who approached him for water. While running away in his helper's horse, Travers drops his fancy rifle which is picked by Santell, who then goes to the nearest town and is mistaken for the fugitive. A marshal from another town who was after Travers decides he will capture Santell while pretending he did recognize him as Travers.

Western with some far-fetched plot turns. It might entertain those who don't regard logic as an essential attribute and are more interested in pace and action. The rocky landscapes are also impressive, lending the film some very nice visuals.

Rating: 31
