Yellow Sky (1948)
9/10
A Fairly Decent Film with a Good Cast and Good Plot
11 October 2010
Yellow Sky is a great Western with a Decent cast and a good plot. The film stars Gregory Peck as Stretch, the leader of a group of bank robbers. With him in his group is Richard Widmark, and a few other famous actors, including a young Harry Morgan (Colonel Potter From M*A*S*H).

After a bank heist goes horribly wrong, the group finds themselves in a small ghost town, where they meet an old prospector and his granddaughter, Mike, played by Anne Baxter, who as described in the trailer "lives like a man, fights like a tigress, but responds to a kiss like a woman".

A large portion of the plot focuses on Gregory Peck's relationship with Mike, as well as his relationship with the rest of the group, with whom he begins to have arguments with once one of his men, Dude (Richard Widmark), begins to suspect the presence of gold.

The plot is very well written, and the characters are well developed. If you are a fan of westerns, or Gregory Peck, I would definitely recommend seeing this film.
