The Last Posse

A group of men sets out after bank robbers. When the chase is over, the stolen money is nowhere to be found. The sheriff is found wounded. From there the real matter is not the robbers but the accounts of the men who went after them. The film builds a structure that questions the town’s idea of justice. The question of where the money went sets everyone against everyone else. The sheriff’s past, and his drinking, hold a place of their own in the account. It is one of the short westerns of American cinema in 1953. Broderick Crawford and John Derek appear in Alfred L. Werker’s seventy three minute American film, completed in 1953.
