Movies starring Victor Jory

Cherokee Strip (1940)

86 mins     Western      

"Cherokee Strip" which also goes by the name of "Fighting Marshal" is a bit of a curious western as it screams b-movie with it s familiar cast of western stars. Yet beneath the b-movie facade is a genuinely interesting storyl...

Riders of the Timberline (1941)

59 mins     Western      

Here is a lesson I have learned from watching old movies; if you have the chance of watching several movies in a franchise spread them out over a few weeks. The reason for this is simple because by the time you get to the fou...

Hoppy Serves a Writ (1943)

67 mins     Western      

"Hoppy Serves a Writ" is in truth an entertaining little escapade from the Hopalong Cassidy portfolio with him masquerading as a cattle buyer in order to lure the men he is after back across the border. It has some nice to-in...

A Woman's Secret (1949)

84 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

"A Woman's Secret" is, well I am not sure what it is because it isn't film-noir and technically as no one ends up dying it isn't a murder mystery either but it is a mystery. That mystery is to why Marian confesses to shooting...

Fighting Man of the Plains (1949)

94 mins     Western      

"Fighting Man of the Plains" has one of the best openings I have ever come across from a western made before 1950. We have an abrupt murder scene as Dancer first tries to intervene when Evelyn is being harassed by a member of...

Canadian Pacific (1949)

95 mins     Western      

I am sure if I could be bothered I could look through Randolph Scott's portfolio of westerns and find at least a handful of movies which see him working for someone building a railroad, putting in a telegraph line or some oth...

The Cariboo Trail (1950)

81 mins     Western      

The Cariboo Trail (1950) Randolph Scott and Bill Williams star as cowboys in search of their fortune in ranching and prospecting but end up at war after a stampede leads to ijury...

Cave of Outlaws (1951)

75 mins     Western      

As a fan of westerns it would be fair to say that when I come across a 1950s western I've never heard of I tend to think it will be just another b-movie which works a western standard storyline. It is why when I sat down to w...

Flaming Feather (1952)

77 mins     Western      

Trust me when I say that synopsis for "Flaming Feather" doesn't do it credit as it sounds like a pretty standard revenge western where the guy who loses his ranch goes after the mysterious man behind it. But quickly this stor...

The Man from the Alamo (1953)

79 mins     Western      

For me there is something quite comforting about watching one of the many westerns made during the 1950s and that feeling comes from knowing that these are going to be adventure movies with plenty of action. It doesn't matter...

Papillon (1973)

151 mins     Biography, Crime, Drama      

Like a bus, you wait for one to come along and then two arrive, in truth I wasn't waiting for a movie like "Papillon" to come along but it was the second movie of the weekend which left me feeling annoyed. Annoyed because "Pa...
