The final Mann/Stewart western pairing has Stewart as a man searching for
answering about the murder of his brother by Indians, in particular who supplied
the killers with repeating rifles. His search leads him to the small
isolated town of Coronado. It seems Coronado is run by a cattle baron and
his psychotic son. There's also an ambitious ranch foreman (Arthur Kennedy) to
deal with.
THE MAN FROM LARAMIE is a satisfactory western, but I can't really see any
reason to get excited about it. Nice photography and good acting, but the
story was just kinda blah. Worth a watch for western fans, but I wouldn't
go out of my way for it.
