SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN

SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN
by Harry Keller
Country: USA
Year: 1960
Duration: 83


Seven Jones is a young Texas Ranger on his first assignment, following in the footsteps of his brother, Two Jones, who was also a Ranger. He is immediately given the toughest assignment – that of bringing in the crafty, flamboyant killer known as Jim Flood. Veteran Texas Ranger Sergeant Hennessey is there to assist him and teach him some of the tricks of the trade. As the Ranger and his prisoner make their dangerous journey, they occasionally have to work together to survive. They form a grudging respect for each other, almost a friendship, but they know that in the end they are on opposite sides of the law.

Biography

film director

Harry Keller

(Los Angeles 1913-1987) was an American film editor, producer and director. Entering the film business as an editor in 1936, Harry Keller began directing in the late 1940s, and soon was at Republic, specializing in westerns. When that studio folded he went to Universal, directing westerns again, interspersed with some dramas, comedies and war pictures. In the late 1960s he stopped directing films and started producing them, although he did keep his hand in directing TV shows. Keller gained some degree of fame as the director called in by Universal to reshoot scenes from Orson Welles Touch of Evil (1958).
