Dec 11, 2015 · Mark Franklin December 11, 2015 1950s. Bill Elliott is Sam Nelson, a lawman who goes undercover to find the killers of a U.S. marshal who was trying to settle a mine boundary dispute. The marshals find the mine owner who hired the killers. But he’s only able to identify the man who helped him hire two gunmen willing to murder a law officer.
The Forty-Niners (1954) finds Elliott as steadfast as ever, slower on the draw but resolute in his adherence to justice and fair play. Harry Morgan is well-cast as a bad guy who comes to respect and admire the U. S. Marshal and balks at the order to gun him down.
This almost film noir western (heavy emphasis on voice-over narration) finds Elliott searching for crooked gambler Morgan, who hired the two killers of a federal agent.
