Silver Lode (1954) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
Silver Lode is a 1954 American Technicolor Western film directed by Allan Dwan and starring John Payne, Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea.
Dan Ballard, a respected citizen in the western town of Silver Lode, has his wedding interrupted by four men led by Ned McCarty, an old acquaintance who, as a US Marshal, arrests Ballard for the murder of his brother and the theft of $20,000.
On the plus side, though, Silver Lode is tautly directed by Dwan who doesn't waste a shot and moves the narrative along at a brisk clip. John Payne, an often underrated actor whose best work was in film noirs, is also impressive as the accused hero.
