Movies starring Charles McGraw

Blood on the Moon (1948)

88 mins     Western      

There is a very interesting scene in "Blood on the Moon" it features the meeting of Jim and Amy when he is riding though the middle of nowhere and she takes a shot at him. Unaware that he is being shot at by a woman he sneaks...

Armoured Car Robbery (1950)

67 mins     Crime, Thriller      

Whilst there are those who really like Richard Fleischer's "Armoured Car Robbery" the only thing which I found memorable about this cops & robbers thriller is that it only lasts 67 minutes. Not that I think there is a lot wro...

His Kind of Woman (1951)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

"His Kind of Woman" starts as one thing, a mysterious thriller, a piece of film-noir but then by the end and with Vincent Price intentionally hamming it up as an actor it borders on being a comedy. For me it doesn't work and ...

The Narrow Margin (1952)

One Minute to Zero (1952)

105 mins     Drama, War      

One Minute to Zero - Robert Mitchum and Ann Blyth star in this war drama surrounding the Korean war...

Thunder Over the Plains (1953)

82 mins     Western      

With "Thunder Over the Plains" being a Randolph Scott western I had certain expectations and to be honest they weren't exactly high as Scott over the years starred in a fair few ordinary oaters. So I am pleasantly surprised t...

War Paint (1953)

89 mins     Western      

I have mentioned this before but director Lesley Selander made a lot of westerns and whilst they were never bad movies very few stuck out from the crowd. That is sadly the case of "War Paint" a movie which I am going to say w...

The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954)

102 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

"The Bridges at Toko-Ri" is not a war movie and it is not an anti-war movie either, which may sound rather stupid when we have a story about the Korean War. But the reason I say this is that at the centre of the movie is pilo...

Away All Boats (1956)

114 mins     Drama, War      

It has to be said that "Away All Boats" is a terrific looking movie especially when you think that so many war movies in the 50s, especially those which were Navy war movies were shot in black and white. It is not just the co...

Saddle the Wind (1958)

84 mins     Western      

On first look "Saddle the Wind" is just another western about a gunfighter trying to go straight but with his past coming back to haunt him, which doesn't sound that great. But rather than this being a case of an old enemy tr...

The Wonderful Country (1959)

98 mins     Romance, Western      

Tom Lea's novel on which "The Wonderful Country" is quite possibly a fantastic read, I don't know but I am sure it is a lot more interesting than this disjointed western. Here we have a story of American who fled to Mexico ha...

Cimarron (1960)

147 mins     Western      

Movie Review - Cimarron (1960) Glenn Ford starsas Yancey Cravat in this epic western saga of a frontier family which takes them from the Oklahoma Land Run to a business empire...
