Rails into Laramie (1954) - (John Payne) US insert
This is a 14" x 36" US insert poster for the 1954 Jesse Hibbs film Rails into Laramie based on a story by D. D. Beauchamp and Joseph Hoffman and starring John Payne as Jefferson Hareder. Plot summary: Sergeant Jefferson Harder receives an unexpected promotion to captain and is sent to Laramie by his commanding officer General Augur [Stephen Chase] to find out out why the railroad construction has stopped, delaying completion of the transcontinental railroad. Harder finds a town so spoiled by gambling and drinking that the population is too corrupt and undisciplined to build the railroad; he proceeds to shut down the bars and fire the ineffective managers and workers. This leads to an armed and legal clash with Jim Shanessy [Dan Duryea], the local saloon owner and kingpin who is behind all the malfunctions. The first all-women jury in the US convened in Laramie with Shanessy's business partner Lou Carter [Mari Blanchard] serving as forewoman to bring justice for the murder of Marshal Orrie Summers [James Griffith], done on Shanessy's orders by Con Winton [Lee Van Cleef].
