Customer Reviews of The Showdown
Bill Elliot at his best I believe "Showdown" is one of the ten best films ever made. This low budget masterpeice shows what can be accomplished when talent is substituted for money. The acting and the production values in this movie are superb. Out of the hundreds of movies I saw as a child this one has haunted my memory all of my life. It is one of a kind and totally unforgetable. This is a splendid film noir movie disquised as a cheap "B western that can be watched over and over again. The casting is the very best with Walter Brennen and Bill Elliot giving top performances. This film is very similar and in a class with "Casablanca" in many ways.
An Effective Repulic Western
A former Texas lawman (the stern William "Wild Bill" Elliott) searches for his brother's killer on a trail drive.
This Republic Pictures play on RED RIVER is effective due to strong performances by an excellent cast, including Walter Brennan, Marie Blanchard and Harry Morgan.
Elliott was a popular Republic star during the 1940s. Unlike other Republic players (whose vehicles were aimed squarely at an adolescent audience), his characterizations were unusually mature, with vengeance often their motivating factors. If you are familiar with Elliott, this will provide a fond reminder of this nearly forgotten star.
A clever plot twist
A surprisingly good story for the B-movie western type. Perhaps one of the best films with William Elliot.
