A Time For Dying marksa farewell for both producer Audie Murphy and director
Budd Boettticher. Both of them did some really good westerns and sad they went out on this badly acted and disjointed tale.
The two leads Richard Lapp and Anne Randall give some truly insipid peformances and villain Bob Random overacts out of proportion to his role. Not that he's the only one overacting. Victor Jory playing Judge Roy Bean and he really goes to town in a part that calls for it. In a turkey you gobble vigorously and Jory is the best in the film.
Audie Murphy plays Jesse Jamesrepeating a role he did in Kansas Raiders years earlier. He's an older and wiser Jesse now and offers some sage advice to a[[ who is too dumb to take it.
A sad mediocre film way beneath the talents of drector and prodcuer.
