3/5
Simple, but entertaining (including a surprisingly gritty finale featuring Jack Elam engaging in target practice using a young child), Rawhide is a generous and efficient B-grade Western. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Aug 7, 2016

Tense hostage story, at stage coach station. See more Jan 5, 2015 I thought it was gonna be a run of the mill stagecoach type movie. However, it's a good movie. Plus, Susan Hayward is a babe! See more Jun 25, 2014 Susan Hayward & Tyrone Power Had Their Hands Full--Henry Hathaway's "Rawhide" is a classic western!! See more Feb 8, 2014 Tyrone Powers and Susan Hayward. Though written by Dudley Nichols this is no "Stagecoach." Powers is too old for his role. Hayward gives one of her typical tougher than steal, hard-boiled performances. Good cast of supporting actors including Edgar Buchanan, Jeff Corey and Dean Jagger. However, the real highlight is Jack Elam's crazed portrayal as one of the escaped convicts. See more Dec 18, 2013 131219: A creepy Jack Elam was highlight of this film. Without him, I think I would've found this hour and a half a bit long. The story all takes place in one location but it moves along steadily enough that you don't lose interest. There was something about Haywards dress, or hair style, that just didn't sit right with me. I could see a very good modern version of this film being done. See more Read all reviews
