Five Guns West

An early effort by director Roger Corman -- who would become famous for a long run of entertaining B-grade exploitation films -- this Western tale follows five outlaws who are promised a pardon if they'll take on a mission for the Confederacy. John Lund stars as Govern Sturges, the Confederate officer who leads the band of prisoners in their search for Union gold. Jazz great Buddy Bregman provides original music for the film.
