Original Title: Stranger At My Door
Genge: Action,Adventure,Drama,Western
Notorious outlaw Clay Anderson and gang rob the town bank and flee in separate directions. Riding hard, Clay's horse goes lame and he is forced to pull-up at a nearby farm. He soon discovers that the place belongs to local preacher Hollis Jarret, his new wife, and a son from a previous marriage. Clay, posing as a weary traveler, tries to insinuate himself into a secure hideout, but the reverend isn't fooled. He agrees to allow Clay to remain at the farm for a few days, but his motive isn't the preservation of his family's safety. Hollis reasons that, with time, patience and a lot of faith, he can convince the outlaw to turn over a new leaf. But Clay's criminal tendencies may run deeper than the preacher had imagined...
Chassed by a posse, bank robber Clay Anderson, traveling under an assumed name, takes refuge at a farm owned by a preacher and his pretty young wife.
"Stranger At My Door" isn't a bad movie at all. Certainly it's what would be called a 'B' Western, the budget was low, and it didn't have any really big name stars in it. That said, it made the most with what it had, which is better than some movies do.
Skip Homeier is noted outlaw Clay Anderson, whose gang has just held up a bank. They meet outside of town and divide up the loot, then agree to reunite in Kansas City in several weeks. Just as all the others ride off, Clay finds that his horse has gone lame and he has no way to escape from the sheriff who will certainly be looking for him. He takes refuge at the home of a preacher with a new young wife, and the preacher's son from an earlier marriage. He claims that he's just someone passing through, but before long the preacher and his family find out that they have an outlaw in their midst.
The preacher is satisfied to let Clay stay with his family - he thinks he can change him and bring him to salvation. He isn't worried Clay will harm his son, since Clay has taken a liking to him, but what the preacher doesn't know is that their guest is also making a play for his wife. The preacher is confident he can change Clay; Clay is confident that he can't and won't be changed. He tells the preacher "For me, salvation is a clean pistol and a good horse."
I won't give away the story but most of the ending is 'triggered' (pun intended) when the preacher's son is accidentally shot by the sheriff while he is gunning for Clay. The distraught sheriff flees and Clay goes after him upon hearing from the doctor that the boy is unlikely to survive his wounds. Clay has a soft spot for the boy - seemingly the only person he genuinely cares about - and he wants to get even with the sheriff for shooting him, even accidentally.
(Did you ever notice how often in these Westerns a youngster develops a bond with a 'bad guy'? There must be some psychological message in that, about kids seeing the good side in a bad person - and conversely, the bad guy having enough heart to take a liking to the youngster. Like Aesop's fable about the mouse who befriended the lion, kind of... and I think it is meant to show that there is good in everyone however deeply it is hidden.)
That's all I will tell about the story itself. I happen to be a big fan of Skip Homeier who I think deserved higher billing than he tended to get. He was in many really good Westerns, both movies and TV shows - "The Tall T", "Ten Wanted Men", "Day of the Bad Man", "At Gunpoint", an appearance on The Rifleman TV show, and many others. To me he was the consummate "bad cowboy" character - tall, lean, and with a great sneering manner to him - yet he could also play a good guy, something he did rather less frequently. On a couple of occasions he turned good right at the end of the story (though he tended to get killed in most of the roles where I've seen him). Macdonald Carey is also fine in this movie as the preacher; I had seen him previously in "Man or Gun?" and that is one of my favorite "B" Westerns. Patricia Medina is nice looking and handles her part well, though it's not a hugely demanding role. The son is played by Stephen Wootton, who seems to have given up acting by his mid-teens. He's about ten years old here and does a satisfactory job in his role, which is substantial.
To me though, this movie belongs to Skip Homeier. I've never understood why he had a hard time getting the billing his roles deserved - here, he surely should have been listed after Carey and before Medina, but he's listed third. Possibly he even should have had top billing given his main role in the story.
You might never get to see this gem because I don't believe it's been released on home video, but if you get the chance and you like Westerns that are a little off the beaten path, this is one you might like.
MacDonald Carey made several entertaining low budget western films in the 1950's, before gaining lasting fame as the lead on the soap opera "Days of our Lives". In this western with a message, Carey finds himself in a saga of good vs. evil, faith vs. worldliness. An escaping convict and a peaceful minister do battle for the salvation of the felons soul! Both men seem equally sure of their eventual victory.
I enjoyed this film and feel it was well suited to Mr. Carey's abilities. It was also fun to see the casting of Slim Pickens (What would westerns have done without him ?). Even though this storyline was recycled, this one is still very much worth viewing.
