Walter Wanger's first production for Allied Artists, Kansas Pacific is more slick and polished than the usual budget western. Set just before the Civil War, the film concerts Kansas Pacific railroad's... read more read more... westward expansion, a project stymied by the sabotage activities of Southern sympathizers. Military officer John Nelson (Sterling Hayden) is assigned to make sure the railroad goes through. The film offers excellent performances from such usually stereotyped players as Barton MacLane, Harry Shannon, Douglas Fowley and James Griffith. Kansas Pacific's leading lady is Eve Miller, best known as Kirk Douglas' vis-a-vis in The Big Trees. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This is actually a pretty good film by Allied Artists Pictures, its a 1953 U.S. Cinecolor motion picture directed by Ray Nazarro. It stars Sterling Hayden and Eve Miller. My copy came from the Mill Creek 50 pack of Combat Classics. How this movie got into that collection is beyon... read mored me. Its more of a western then a combat movie, but the time era is supposed to be right before the cilvil war. That being I didn't notice one African American on the railroad crew nor did I see any Asians, go figure those odds. But the movie itself is about a railroad across Kansas the South sees it as a threat and the Nort Sees it as a Good Trade line. Henchman Stone is played by Clayton Moore (The Masked Lone Ranger) who is a bad guy, now thats a twist.. The main character named "Mr. Bruce" who ever heard of that in the Western.
