Pistolero
Although a mood of melancholy or worse pervades this excellent western, it remains an honest and hard-hitting look at the realistic adventures of Martin Brady (Robert Mitchum -- who produced). Brady fled to Mexico while still quite young in order to avoid prison in the U.S. -- he had killed his father's murderer. After years spent working as a gunman for a wealthy "padron," he hates white Americans but has to go north to get weapons. Once on the wrong side of the border, he gets into trouble with U.S. Army for not helping them hunt down Apaches. But the people he meets in a small town, one a European immigrant, begin to change his black-and-white view of the world. Meanwhile, he and Ellen Colton (Julie London), the unhappy wife of an army major, begin to fall in love. Several more adventures and a tragedy or two affect the unlikely couple's future -- ultimately for the better. Baseball hero "Satchel" Paige shows up in a cameo role, leading an Afro-American unit of the U.S. army. Mexican star Pedro Armendariz is Brady's boss, Governor Castro.

The Three Musketeers
Gene Kelly er den veltalende, unge, franske adelsmannen D'Artagnan som, i besittelse av bare sin tittel, reiser til Paris for å slå seg til de tre musketerer. Ikke før har D'Artagnan ankommet hovedstaden enn han fornærmer Athos (Van Heflin), Porthos (Oscar vinner Gig Young) og Aramis (Robert Coote), de mest fryktede av musketerne. De utfordrer ham alle til duell, og D'Artagnan vinner deres respekt med sitt mot, om ikke sine kampegenskaper. Men hans mot, kløkt og snartenkthet skal vise seg nyttige for å krysse planene til den mektige statsministeren Richelieu (Vincent Price) for å styrte kong Louis XIII (Frank Morgan), redde dronning Anne (Angela Lansbury), og vinne hjertet til Lady de Winter (Lana Turner).
