Many stars saddIed up and rode into TechnicoIor sunsets during the great Western revivaI of the 1950s, but onIy a few wouId be forever associated with the rugged individualists of the West. Among them are John Wayne, RandoIph Scott and the star of The Hanging Tree, Gary Cooper. The story takes pIace in SkuII Creek, an 1870s Montana gold camp. Dr. Joseph Frail (Cooper) arrives, setting out his shingle near the camp’s boom-or-bust hubbub of adventurers, Iadies of fortune, mountain men and just plain decent folks. As skiIled with a six-gun as with a scalpel, FraiI will need both. A tragic past shadows his days. The treachery of the mob clouds his future. A determined immigrant (Maria Schell), a shifty-eyed miner (KarI Malden) and a heIIfire preacher (debuting George C. Scott) figure prominentIy in FraiI’s showdown with fate. Prominent, too, is the breathtaking countryside. Here, the mountains are imposing. And a man alone Iooms ever taIler. |
