Movie Info
This typical western tale of beleaguered townsfolk mustering up the courage to fight the villain that controls their town with an iron fist features atypically bloody violence. Supposedly the top peacekeeper in the frontier town of Jericho, Sheriff Alex Flood (Dean Martin) is actually a ruthless bully and racketeer who owns or profitably intimidates every enterprise in Jericho with the help of his henchmen, including the Yarbrough (Slim Pickens). That is, every business except the lucrative

This ugly routine Western is advertised as the kind of old-fashioned one they used to make.
Violent Dean Martin western is so-so.

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=white]Arnold Laven, director of Geronimo, Vice Squad, and The Rack, delivers Rough Night in Jericho. The storyline for this picture is pretty good. There is nothing overly original in this film; however, the character development was wonderfully delivered. The cast delivered brilliant performances and included Dean Martin, George Peppard, and Jean Simmons. [/color][/font][/size]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=white]Rough Night in Jericho is currently playing on the Encore Western channel. I have not watched many Dean Martin films, so I decided to give this film a shot. Dean Martin was outstanding in this picture. He portrayed the villain, Alex Flood, to perfection. The villain kept the film interesting, while at times the main character, Dolan, was a bit bland. Overall, this was a worthwhile movie.[/color][/size][/font]
