I love Audie Murphy westerns, but I had never seen "Tumbleweed" do to its lack of availability until now. This movie is so good that it has become my favorite Audie Murphy western. Kudos to the company, Hollywood Scrap Heap, for issuing such gems that are being neglected by other companies who don't see a large enough profit margin to bother. It's almost criminal that the Hollywood establishment has not preserved its own history and reissued its own works of art! In Tumbleweed, Audie Murphy portrays a familiar western character -- a good man who is wrongly accused of a crime, and misunderstood by all but a few honest people who take the trouble to look deeper for the truth. The title "Tumbleweed" is taken from the name of an unusual white horse that a rancher gives to Audie to help him in his mission to exonerate himself. This horse, on the surface, appears to be a pathetic, scrawny excuse for a riding horse, but it turns out to be somewhat of an idiot savant who saves Audie from dying of thirst on the desert, and eventually enables Audie to save himself from the hangman's noose. This movie has all the elements of a great Western: a fascinating story, conflict, romance, stunning western cinematography, and solid western supporting actors such as Chill Wills, Lee Van Cleef, Russell Johnson and Roy Roberts. Chill Wills gives his usual solid performance as the town sheriff. Gorgeous Laurie Nelson provides the beauty and romantic interest. The DVD quality is excellent, thanks to the tender loving care invested in its restoration. The sound is clear and natural, and the technicolor is beautiful.Read full review
