Randolph Scott
makes his 3-D debut in the stereoscopic western Stranger Wore a Gun. This time,
Scott plays Jeff Travis, a former spy for Quantrill's Raiders. When he heads to
Arizona to start life anew, Travis finds that his reputation has preceded him:
crooked Jules Mourret (George
Macready) hires him to monitor a series of gold shipments, in preparation
for a major robbery. Eventually, Travis falls in love with Shelby Conroy (Joan
Weldon), daughter of freight-line operator Jason Conroy (Pierre
Watkin), and decides to turn honest. That won't be easy: in addition to the
surly Mourret, Travis must deal with such formidable movie heavies as Alfonso
Bedoya, Lee
Marvin and Ernest
Borgnine. Also on hand is Claire
Trevor, in a soft-pedalled variation of her role in John Ford's Stagecoach.
Stranger Wore a Gun was directed by Andre
DeToth, whose previous foray into 3D had been the box-office smash House of
Wax. Hal Erickson
