About The Silver Star
A third generation deputy sheriff doubts whether or not he has the guts for the job that killed both his father and grandfather. His doubts are re-enforced when three vicious gunmen arrive in town. From the original 35mm widescreen negative.
Directed by Richard Bartlett, The Silver Star leans on a strong ensemble — Edgar Buchanan, Marie Windsor, Lon Chaney Jr. — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1955.
