The oft-filmed Owen Wister oater gets the Technicolor treatment, with Joel McCrea taking the title role of the laconic ranch hand who vouches for an old friend (Sonny Tufts), and is faced with difficult choices when his buddy turns out to be under the sway of the ornery rustler Trampas (Brian Donlevy). Sterling sagebrusher co-stars Barbara Britton, Fay Bainter, William Frawley. 90 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
