Vengeance Valley

An unusually adult western for its time, Vengeance Valley gave Burt Lancaster his first Western role. His athletic prowess made him perfect for the genre, and he'd go on to make Gunfight At O.K. Corral, Apache, and The Unforgiven.



Vengeance Valley emphasizes character development and the solid cast meets the challenge. Robert Walker plays Burt's foster brother. Joanne Dru, her then-husband John Ireland, Ted de Corsia, Hugh O'Brien and Glenn Strange lend support.



One of the real stars of the picture is the gorgeous three-strip Technicolor photography by George Folsey. The West has never been more colorful.
