About Rangers of Fortune
An US Army misfit and his pals roam the west in search of adventure. Arriving in a small town, they befriend the elderly newspaper editor and his young granddaughter. The trio learn that the community is under the thumb of a covetous land baron, who's endeavoring to push out ranch owners and take over the territory.
Directed by Sam Wood, Rangers of Fortune leans on a strong ensemble — Fred MacMurray, Patricia Morison, Albert Dekker — 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 1940.
