Pistol Harvest

Pistol Harvest, one of the later Tim Holt westerns for RKO, has Tim maybe finally looking to settle down and marry the lovely Joan Dixon and quit riding the range with Richard Martin.

Her adopted father Edward Hearn is real pleased to have Tim Holt as a son-in-law and agrees to help finance the young to be marrieds with the purchase of a new ranch.

The problem is that the $30,000.00 that Tim withdraws will leave the town banker without any funds to cover some shady dealings. After that it's a cat and mouse game that gets real deadly.

There were some aspects to this story that did not really ring true and a plot line that involved Joan Dixon being adopted and one of the outlaw henchmen being her long lost brother. Personally I don't think it added anything to the story. And in the end some of the playful wolfishness of Richard Martin's character Chito took an out of place turn.

Still there's a lot of action to cover up the rough spots and Tim Holt is one of the best cowboy heroes Hollywood ever had.
