Town Tamer Reviews

Andrews is a hired gun out to get revenge for the killing of his wife committed by Bettger and Cabot. After a two-year search he finds them as a sheriff and saloon keeper, respectively, wielding total control of their town. Andrews keeps his guns drawn and blazing, killing everyone that moves, until he finally gets the pair--and with them the respect of the townspeople for freeing the place from their control. Jaeckel almost steals the entire film as a deputy with a deep sadistic streak. One of director Selander's best westerns, though hindered by a formula plot. Longtime cowboy star Bob Steele has a small part, as does writer Gruber.
