8/10

Solid Western, one of Scott's finest performances

Director Enright is an unknown to me but he does a competent directing job in CORONER CREEK. Photography is above average, dialogue sharp, action believable and well edited, and the cherry on the cake is Randy Scott's performance, possibly his finest after RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, SEVEN MEN FROM NOW and RIDE LONESOME.

First class performances too from slightly deranged villain George Macready, laughing heavy Forrest Tucker and doting daddy Edgar Buchanan.

Great fight between Scott and Tucker. Unfortunately, Scott delivers the first heavy punch with the damaged hand and only feels the pain with the second, thereafter he uses the other hand. Despite that goof, it is a credible and well staged sequence.

CORONER CREEK is one of the most unassuming yet gripping Westerns I have ever watched,
