| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Firecreek |
|---|
This ho-hum western seemed like a dream come true, James Stewart and Henry Fonda together. However, the plot is dull, save for a dramatic ending. If you're a Stewart or Fonda fan, it might be worth checking out (both give more then decent performances), but other then that, it tends to lag. If only John Ford had been in charge of this western.
