Customer Reviews

Very Entertaining
If you enjoy old westerns, you will enjoy this one too. Robert Preston is marvelous and Mickey Rooney is both hilarious and serious. The story is no-nonsense. The dialog is decent and delivered very well by all. Try it, you'll like it.

City Slicker Mickey Rooney Heads West
Mickey Rooney is a real treat to watch and adds a few laughs to, "My Outlaw Brother". He's a city slicker from New York and comes out west to find his big brother who he has idealized all these years. He meets up and travels with a lawmen on the trail of one really bad hombre, and as it turns out, they are both looking for the same person! The fabulous cast includes Robert Preston, Robert Stack and and Wanda Hendrix. It's a Black and White, made in 1951. Directed by Elliot Nugent.

This film may also be found on Platinum Disc's Great American Western series. This one is included on the single disc of Volume 13 in the series, along with a great documnetary on "Gunfighters", "Boothill", a 60's spaghetti western from the "Trinity" series, and "The Gun and The Pulpit", from 1974 starring Marjoe Gortner and a great cast. Volume 13 may also be purchased as part of Volume 2 of the larger sets(10 discs/40 films). The DVDs in this series are not pristeen. There are scratches and graineyness, especially in the older films, and the color films are usually pretty dated. All are enhanced with DD5.1 sound, and if you are a western lover, you really can't go wrong for the price.

Happy Trails....Laurie
