Western Union (1941)
Country: US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Fritz Lang
Cast: Randolph Scott, Robert Young, Dean Jagger
Synopsis:
Edward Creighton realizes his ambition of uniting East and West via the telegraph, thanks partly to his radical teaming of a western roughneck with an eastern-educated surveyor.
Review:
Fox invested in this kind of prestige, public information project, particularly when there was opportunity afforded for scale and spectacle. Technicolor was again given approval after the James films, and Lang does a good job of storytelling, the subject matter no doubt appealing to the director of Dr Mabuse and Spione.
