Here's some quick Letterboxd thoughts for BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE (1958): https://boxd.it/1jP0dl
So far in my Randolph Scott & Budd Boetticher journey, TALL T has been my favorite. However BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE is still a strong entry from this creative team.
Scott plays Buchanan - A cowboy in the wrong place at the wrong time (a town owned by three greedy brothers). He gets mixed up in a murder, goes to jail, and loses all his money. Thankfully, Buchanan ends up ok. However I’m not sure we can attribute his survival to his strength and wit - Just as he was calamitous at the beginning, he ends up lucky at the end! Scott plays a very charming character (as usual), so we’re happy he survives. If it was any other actor, I’m not sure we’d be as empathetic for the protagonist.
