Product Description

Johnny Concho (1956)

Director:

 Don McGuire

Writers:

 David P. Harmon (screenplay), David P. Harmon (story)

Stars:

 Frank Sinatra, Keenan Wynn, William Conrad
 
Coadapted by David Harmon from his own TV play, the psychological western Johnny Concho stars Frank Sinatra as the title character, a callow young punk who lives off the reputation of his gunslinger brother. Most of the townsfolk consider Johnny to be nothing more than a cowardly bully; only Mary Dark (Phyllis Kirk), who loves Johnny, and gunfighter-turned-preacher Barney Clark (Keenan Wynn) can see the scared little boy beneath his swaggering facade. When word comes down that Johnny's brother has been killed and that the killers (William Conrad and Christopher Dark) intend to take over the town, Johnny runs like a scared rabbit. Eventually summoning up his innate courage, Johnny returns, hoping to convince the citizens to help him rid the town of the despotic killers. As "zero hour" approaches, however, Johnny is forced to go up against his enemies all by himself. The political symbolism in Johnny Concho is impossible to ignore, though it is up to the viewer to decide if this is an anti-Red or anti-McCarthy tract.

  1. Just as I remembered 2 Star Review

    Posted by on Jan 14th 2023

    This movie, produced by, starring in, and dominated by Frank Sinatra is very predictable. You can see where the scenes go before the scene is shown.

    That said, this movie is great fun to watch. Sinatra tries to act tough, which is kind of laughable, but…he tries. The sets are cheap, and are of no interest. The costumes are about what you would expect. As I stated, there are many unintended laughers throughout.

    One strong point is the cast. There are some great character actors who do what they can with a bad script. In fact, for me, the character actors are by far the strong part of this film.

    Im glad I bought it, and would recommend it to any fan of Sinatra, or any fan of “not so good” movies. Grab some popcorn and give it a try.
