Broken Lance Ratings & Reviews
- eif999January 24, 2025More strikes against than for this one. Robert Wagner as the blue-eyed half breed isn’t just brownface it’s a guy I don’t like in westerns. The great widescreen vistas and Tracy are amazing. Remake of House of Strangers with EG Robinson in the Tracy role. A noir that does nothing for me.
