S R @ScottR 12/30/2024 A different type of Western Union than I figured the plot would be. It was decently made and bit stiff in the acting, but it entertained and I saw it because I read about it in my "When Hollywood Came to Utah" book since it was all filmed near Kanab. RUS. See more Ashley H @ashleyhobgood87 02/27/2024 Western Union is a decent film. It is about Edward Creighton who leads the construction of the Western Union to unite East with West. Robert Young and Randolph Scott give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Fritz Lang did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure. See more 03/04/2017 One of the best westerns ever made, right up there with "Shane" and "The Searchers". See more 10/02/2014 a very good movie beautiful breeds of horses too See more 09/26/2014 Solid western -- but not really recognizable as a Fritz Lang film. I suppose you could argue that Randolph Scott's fate is spelled out from the very first scenes and that doom closes in as the team putting the telegraph line up gets farther along and we learn more details about Scott. But it's possible that this is more Zane Grey's doing than Lang's. By the way, Randy Scott is great as usual in a typically morally ambiguous role but he does gain a certain gravitas when he ages into the Budd Boetticher films in the '50s. Robert Young, on the other hand, seems out-of-place in the wild west. Portrayals of Native Americans is generally less than positive. If you're interested in a Fritz Lang western, try Rancho Notorious first.

Found this film an enjoyable fictitious look at the laying of the telegraph line across the US. Well worth watching even at 73 years of age. Some strong acting and characters.
