1951 · Film · ★ 5.1
Released in 1951, Raton Pass is a western film directed by Edwin L. Marin, running about 84 minutes. “"Hold Raton Pass And You Hold The Rest Of The West By The Throat!"” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Raton Pass is a curious western based on the rules of Community Property. Dennis Morgan and Patricia Neal portray a recently married husband and wife, each of whom owns half of a huge cattle ranch. Neal is a tad more ambitious than her husband, and with the help of a little legal chicanery she tries to obtain Morgan's half of the spread. He balks, so she hires a few gunslingers to press the issue. In a 1951 western, the greedy party usually came to a sorry end; Raton Pass adheres strictly to tradition.
Who’s in it. Raton Pass stars Dennis Morgan as Marc Challon, Patricia Neal as Ann Challon, Steve Cochran as Cy Van Cleave and Scott Forbes as Prentice, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.1/10, Raton Pass has proved divisive with audiences.
