Great Jeff Chandler Classic Film, 12 March 2006
7/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

This is a great film with great Classic actors and producers, namely: Jeff Chandler, (Ben Sadler),"Return to Peyton Place",'61, who plays the role of a Sheriff in town and has to deal with race relations and bigots. Orson Welles,(Virgil Renchler),"Hot Money",'83, is the so-called boss of the town and has all the town folks wrapped around his little pinkie. Colleen Miller,(Skippy Renchler),"Step Down to Terror",'58, is married to Virgil and is a pretty hot number that puts some sex into this semi-Western. Barbara Lawrence,(Helen Sadler),is the wife of Ben and does her very best to stand by her man no matter what people think of him and punch him to death quite often. Jeff Chandler passed away at the early age of 42 and was at the height of his career and made only a few more pictures after this Classic film of 1957.
