William Wellman's 1948 Yellow Sky, (It's nice to have two Wellman films released by Kino this month) is a superb western about a group of bank robbers (compare the opening sequence to the The Wild Bunch), who escape across the desert, to find themselves in an interesting ghost town.
Gregory Peck, Anne Baxter and Richard Widmark are the leads, along with cinematographer, Joe MacDonald. For those unfamiliar with Mr. MacDonald's name, I'm certain you know his work, inclusive of My Darling Clementine.
The Blu-ray courtesy of Fox via Kino Lorber is a quality affair, which has generally nice reproduction of the original black & white work. A few dupey shots, and a bit of flicker do no harm.
