Raton Pass
"Hold Raton Pass And You Hold The Rest Of The West By The Throat!"
1951 · 1h 24m · APPROVED
Western
Directed by
Edwin L. Marin
Overview
Raton Pass is a curious western based on the rules of Community Property. Dennis Morgan and Patricia Neal portray a recently married husband and wife, each of whom owns half of a huge cattle ranch. Neal is a tad more ambitious than her husband, and with the help of a little legal chicanery she tries to obtain Morgan's half of the spread. He balks, so she hires a few gunslingers to press the issue. In a 1951 western, the greedy party usually came to a sorry end; Raton Pass adheres strictly to tradition.
