The Buckskin Lady

A 1957 American Western directed by Carl K. Hittleman and distributed by United Artists. Patricia Medina plays Angela Medley, a frontier gambler who supports her hard-drinking father "Doc" Medley (Henry Hull) while running with the gunslinger Slinger (Gerald Mohr). When the new town physician Dr. Bruce Merritt (Richard Denning) arrives, Angela falls for him, setting up an inevitable showdown between the outlaw and the respectable life she wants. A compact, unpretentious B-western carried by Medina's sympathetic lead performance, it circulated widely on television and fell into the public domain when its copyright was not renewed.
