飞骑荡寇志 (1961)

Posse from Hell is a 1961 American Western film directed by Herbert Coleman and starring Audie Murphy and John Saxon.

Production

Making his directoral debut, Herbert Coleman was a highly experienced assistant director and associate producer with a long string of credits including working with Alfred Hitchcock. Coleman later directed Audie Murphy in an episode of his Whispering Smith TV series and the feature Battle at Bloody Beach.

Coleman surrounded Murphy with a variety of up and coming young stars as well as experienced professionals. Zohra Lampert was a New York method actress whose adlibbing frequently confused Murphy, but the two worked out their scenes together. It was one of several Westerns John Saxon appeared in during the 1960s.

Huffaker's screenplay deviated from his novel by having Murphy's character as an outsider gunfighter rather than the Marshal's established deputy. His script emphasises the similarity between Cole's voluntary exclusion from society with Helen's sudden involuntary exclusion resulting from her rape. Helen attempts suicide then later talks about becoming a prostitute.

Through his viewing the actions of Caddo, Kern and Helen more than making up for the negative traits in the townspeople, Cole ends the film saying "There is always someone or something worthwhile...if we just look hard enough".
