    Five ex-cons on a mission for the Confederacy Near the end of the Civil War in Texas, five hardened convicts are pardoned to participate in a dangerous mission to apprehend a traitor and a gold shipment. Mike “Mannix” Connors plays one of the ne’er-do-wells while Dorothy Malone is on hand as one of two people living at the stage stop. John Lund co-stars. "Five Guns West" (1955) is a B Western, known for being the directorial debut of trailblazing Indie filmmaker Roger Corman. It’s not bad and thankfully shot in color. But the geography is disingenuous and the early reference to 1867 is laughable in light of the fact that the Civil War ended in 1865. There are similarities to the earlier "Hangman's Knot" (1952), but it’s different enough to stand on its own, although it lacks the budget and isn’t as good. The movie focuses on the bickering social dynamics of the five former convicts and which one will get the woman. The film runs 1 hour, 17 minutes, and was shot at Jack Ingram Ranch (in Woodland Hills) & Iverson Ranch (in Chatsworth), both in northwest Los Angeles. GRADE: C+
