Family Secret -- Phyliss McGee was a wicked woman when she was alive, but now that she's dead, she is far worse.

Broderick Crawford and John Derek kick up a lot of dust in this rock 'em sock 'em 1950s western classic. Three bad guys are on the run with money stolen from a rancher, and a sheriff's posse sets out after the scoundrels. When they return, it's without the money, and with the sheriff badly wounded.

Dana Andrews turns in a delightfully tough performance as a cowboy wrongly accused of killing his former fiancee's brother. An angry lynch mob strings him up, but rather than killing him, they let him loose to prove his innocence. Noose-scarred, he turns coldblooded and hunts down the real killer.

Randolph Scott stars as Marshal Coleen Wave, a lawman who moves from town to town in the Colorado Territory, ridding each of its outlaws. His dedication to his gob causes his wife, played by Angela Lansbury (TV's "Murder She Wrote"), to leave him. She will not come back to him until he has hung up his guns for good. But he is determined to clean up one last town, run by bandits, who don't want to see the territory become a state.
