Fort Dobbs

Fort Dobbs

"Fort Dobbs" (1958) is the first of three westerns, directed by Gordon Douglas, which starred Clint Walker. (Next came "Yellowstone Kelly" in 1959 and "Gold of the Seven Saints" in 1961.) Based on a screenplay by George W. George and Burt Kennedy, with black-and-white photography provided by William H. Clothier, this 93 minute movie was released by Warner Brothers and was intended to capitalize on Clint Walker's success in the "Cheyenne" TV series. Box office results, however, tended to be modest, thus reinforcing the notion that audiences were not likely to pay for at the theater what they could see at home for free.

"Fort Dobbs" co-starred Virginia Mayo, Brian Keith, and Richard Eyer.

Plot summary

A passing stranger who, after rescuing from peril a woman and her young son, escorts them to the presumed safety of a frontier fort. Despite various handicaps, romance between the stranger and the woman slowly blossoms along the way.
