Burning Hills, The

The gunmen who cut down Trace Jordan's brother have closed ground on hard-riding Trace. They never think hunted will become hunter and never suspect Trace will lead them toward hostile Comanches. Excitement moves like a firestorm in this lively adaptation of a book by Louis L'Amour (Hondo, The Sacketts) and starring Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood. The two leads were among the '50s most popular talents when they played Trace and his companion-in-flight Maria. Wood had just made a triumphant shift to mature roles with Rebel Without a Cause the prior year. And Hunter was still surrounded by the buzz from his role in Battle Cry. Ride with a star team that'll ensure blazing action.
