Original Theatrical Poster
Red Mountain John Farrow and starring Alan Ladd as Confederate officer Brett Sherwood. In 1865, Brett Sherwood heads to Colorado to join General Quantrill's guerrilla movement. He saves Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy ) who was unjustly sentenced to death by a lynch mob for the killing of a gold assayer.
The following weapons were used in the film Red Mountain :
Revolvers Colt 1851 Navy (Cartridge Conversion) Capt. Brett Sherwood (Alan Ladd ) carries a nickel plated Colt 1851 Navy with a cartridge conversion (while anachronistic for 1865, this revolver decently substitutes for an original Colt 1851 Navy). Lane Waldron (Arthur Kennedy ) holds Brett's Colt in several scenes.
